Unit 1 – Foundations of American Democracy
Topic 1.9
Why does dual federalism often get compared to "layer cake" federalism?
Because layer cakes usually have two colors which represent the two major political parties involved within Dual Federalism.
Because dual federalism involves clear division of responsibilities among national and state governments similar to distinct layers of a cake.
Because both concepts originated from baking analogies during their inception.
Because just like layer cake, dual federalism also includes many layers (levels) of government bodies or councils.
