Answer 1

Answer:

C. The federal government does not believe states are responsible enough for concurrent powers

Answer 2

'The 'federal government' does not believe states are responsible enough for 'concurrent powers.'

Answer: Option C

Explanation:

A 'federal government' is a system that split power between smaller local governments and strong national government.

In a federal government, there are two or more levels of government at the State, local levels and provincial.  

In the 'United States', the U.S. Constitution gives particular powers to the 'federal government', other powers to the state governments, and yet other powers to both.
