Layer Cake to Marble Cake
Captions available
The idea
In the era of dual federalism, both levels stayed within their own jurisdictional spheres, distinct layers of a layer cake. In cooperative federalism the federal government entered policy areas the states had handled, and the layers blended like a marble cake.
In practice
Two cakes, one exam question.
Where people slip
The anchor dates neither era; the exam asks for the sequence.
