Federalism Encourages Experimentation Because

Federalism encourages experimentation because

A) when one political party loses control of the national government, it is still likely to hold office in a number of states and can continue to challenge the party in power at the national level.
B) national politicians and parties do not have to iron out every difference on every issue that divides us; these issues are debated in state legislatures, county courthouses, and city halls.
C) if states adopt programs that fail, the negative effects are limited; if programs succeed, they can be adopted by other states and by the national government.
D) while encouraging experiments in public policy, federalism also provides a training ground for state and local politicians to gain experience before moving to the national stage.
E) by providing numerous arenas for decision making, federalism engages many people in the process of government and helps keep government closer to the people.
