What is a key feature of a federal system of government?

  1. Power is concentrated in one central authority

  2. Power is held solely by local governments

  3. Power is shared among state and national authorities

  4. No central government powers exist

The correct answer is: Power is shared among state and national authorities

A federal system of government is characterized by a division of power between central and local governments. This means that power is shared among state and national authorities, rather than being concentrated in one central authority (A), held solely by local governments (B), or non-existent (D). In a federal system, the central government has certain powers while the local governments also have their own separate powers, creating a balance of power between the two levels of government. This division of power is a key feature of a federal system of government.
