Answer to Question 1

An ideal response would be:
Competitive federalism is defined as a way to improve government performance by encouraging state and local governments to compete against each other for residents, businesses, investment, and national funding.
Permissive federalism, on the other hand, refers to a strong national government that only allows, or permits the states to act when it decides to do so.

Answer to Question 2

An ideal response would be:
States are trying to cut costs by introducing new policies and programs including stronger efforts to divert inmates to rehabilitation facilities; good-time credits to low-risk offenders who would then be allowed to shorten their prison terms; shorter sentences at the discretion of judges; more effective systems of parole and probation; and greater use of privately run (and often out-of- state) prison facilities.
