1.The federal government splits power between independent state and central government, both have power which they get from the constitution, given power by the citizens to elect those in office.

Confederal government- power rest within each state, dependable on local government.

Unitary government-  power is in central government, where it can be divided into states

2. For all the power not to be given to just one group of individuals our country has set 3 different branches to each oversee different actions. The legislative, executive and judicial branch each have the ability to check each other on different aspects and decisions being made.

3.The federal government is able to give grants to states, grants can vary on what they are for and the amount or when they can be used. For this reason during COVID-19 pandemic the local and state government were granted $2.6 billion in federal resources and $100 million of state funding. These grants are set for when drastic things happen, such as the pandemic or any natural disaster phenomenon’s.
