Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
The judicial branch interprets laws and their meaning, as in its ongoing interpretation of states' rights to define access to reproductive health services for citizens of the states. The executive branch suggests, administers, and regulates policy. The legislative branch identifies problems and proposes, debates, passes, and modifies laws to address those problems. The federal branch refers to the top level of government agencies.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
The process of shifting the responsibility for planning, delivering, and financing programs from the federal level to the state level is called devolution. This was a major effort during the Reagan administration. Block grants have increased because of devolution. State administration does not describe this shift of responsibility; rather it describes who is administering the program. Evolu-tion describes how something is gradually developed.
