Question

Which best explains why state governments are better able to focus on the needs of their citizens than the federal government?

They have smaller executive branches.
They have larger legislative branches.
They oversee smaller geographical areas.
They oversee a larger infrastructure.

Answer 1

They oversee a larger infrastructure

Answer 2

As state governments oversee a smaller geographical area, it is probable that they perform better than federal government.

Problems in a specific geographical area is limited for state, and for federal government, it has to take care of the entire nation.

State government gets support of federal government if needed.

Thus state government performs better than federal government as a whole.
