Answer to Question 1

An ideal response will:

2. Explain that this policy was created following protests by state and local government officials about the fact that the federal government imposes mandates without providing funding.

4. Take a position on the reasonableness of this policy.

Answer to Question 2

An ideal response will:
1. Explain why federalism creates space for state-level experimentation.
