Captions available
The idea
Federalism's benefits, in the anchor's list: it encourages political participation, gives states an incentive for policy innovation, and accommodates diverse viewpoints. Its costs: a race to the bottom as states cut taxes and regulations for business, cross-state disparities, and obstruction of national efforts.
In practice
Policy laboratories against workers' detriment.
Where people slip
The exam asks one advantage or one disadvantage.
