This point earns 0 points, as it is not an accurate analysis of the role federalism plays in state policy-making. The correct answer is that federalism allows for the division of power and authority between the federal government and state governments. This division of power allows states to have autonomy in making their own policies while also being subject to federal laws and regulations. Federalism establishes a system of checks and balances, where the federal government can intervene if a state policy violates the constitution or federal laws. Additionally, federalism promotes experimentation and diversity in policy-making, as states can implement different policies based on their unique needs and values.
