Dual federalism

B) views the Constitution as giving a limited list of powers-primarily foreign policy and national defense-to the national government, leaving the rest to sovereign states.
C) views the national government, the 50 states, and the thousands of local governments as competing with each other over ways to put together packages of services and taxes.
D) presumes that the power of the federal government is limited in favor of the broad powers reserved to the states.
