Which statement about federalism is accurate? it applies to specific state legislatures. it divides power between state and national governments. it is made up of implied and expressed powers. it states that powers should be directly given to congress.

The correct answer is: It divides power between state and national governments.

The statement about federalism that is accurate would be that "It divides power between state and national governments," although a majority of the power is given to the central (federal, or"national") government. Federalism is a system of government in which power is divided between a national (federal) government and various state governments. The U.S. Constitution gives certain powers to the federal government, while other powers are assigned to the state governments, and yet other powers to both.Therefore, Federalism limits government by creating two sovereign powers; the national government and state governments by restraining the influence of both.
