Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The graph in Figure 13.4 shows that federal agency rules and regulations reached their peak in the late 1970s, indicating a period of increased federal intervention and regulation in policymaking. Therefore, option D is the correct choice. Option A is incorrect because it refers to the theory of dual federalism, which is a concept that describes the relationship between national and state governments in the U.S., and is not directly related to agency rules and regulations. Option B and E are incorrect because they are not supported by the evidence presented in the graph.
