Answer to Question 1

An ideal answer may include any of the following issues:
 People want more services but at the same time would like to see their taxes cut.
 Intense political divisions over new immigrants exist in many communities.
 Much of the nation's infrastructure needs to be repaired or rebuilt.
 The costs of corrections and prisons have skyrocketed in recent years, driven by the rapid growth of prison populations as well as the costs of caring for an aging population of prisoners.
 Poverty in the inner cities persists.
 Education needs improvement.
 Environmental regulation, land use, and recycling remain major challenges at the local level.
 Health care costs and delivery are challenges to all levels of government.

Answer to Question 2

An ideal response would be:
Dual or layer-cake federalism is defined as a strict separation of powers between the national and state governments in which each layer has its own responsibilities, and reigns supreme within its constitutional realm.
On the other hand, cooperative or marble-cake federalism refers to a flexible relationship between the national and state government in which both work together on a variety of issues and programs.
