<p>Honestly, other sites are bogging me down and I am not asking for you to do this. I am just asking how exactly do I even answer this, and CCers are usually most informed. </p>
<p>Analyze the effects of federalism on contemporary policy-making in TWO of the following areas:</p>
<p>Economic Policy, Social Welfare Policy, Environmental Policy.</p>
<p>In your answer, include a brief definition of federalism and use specific examples of its impact on policy-making in the TWO areas you select.* </p>
<p>I decided on Economic and Social Welfare.
Economic Policy: State Taxation
Social Welfare policies: Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, etc.</p>
<p>So How do I answer this question? I mean, I know those ^ are state-run, but how exactly do I</p>
<p>“use specific examples of federalism’s impact on policy making” involving these?!</p>
<p>Thanks!</p>
<p>What do you not understand about this? I’m not being rude, just trying to help, that’s all(: I just don’t understand what you don’t understand, that’s all.</p>
<p>Sorry. don’t worry, I hate how tone is hard to translate over the internet. but I don’t understand how to answer the question. Here is how I thought to do it, but it seems nonsensical.</p>
<p>“use specific examples of federalism’s impact on policy making”
-define federalism
-name an economic policy. state whether it’s state-controlled or federal controlled, and why.
-name a social welfare policy. ^and repeat.
-conclude.</p>
<p>That’s my take of the prompt. What’s yours? Because mine seems a bit on the weird side.</p>
<p>This is right, but you need to mention why the policies are either state or federally controlled and why this is important, in these type of questions, flow is important too, so if it flows well that’ll score you some points too.</p>
<p>Oh! idk why but that totally ties everything up for me. thanks! seriously. :)</p>
<p>well i do know why, you helped! but i was just trying to express how magical that little blast of understanding was ;)</p>
