The term federal government refers to a central and national government true or false?
ANSWERfalse.. a federal government refers to the government of a group of federated political entities. A federal government would therefore have a distributed, rather than centralized, structureANSWERTechnically False ... and the previous explanation is incorrect, describing a confederacy or confederation as opposed to a federal government. The U.S. tried in 1781 to operate as a confederation, with power distributed among the states, but it worked poorly and created as many problems as it resolved.In 1788 the U.S. Constitution was created, setting up a federal government where powers were divided between the individual states and a central national government with strong authority in certain specified areas.During and after the 1861 Civil War, the national government's powers were greatly increased and the powers of the states decreased, and the trend has more slowly continued since then.One of the reasons for this is the Constitutional provision that the national government has authority over interstate commerce. Since there is very little that happens in just one state, whenever the national government wants to overturn states' rights and assume national control, it declares the subject a matter of interstate commerce and takes control. Proponents of states' rights would like to see the interstate commerce clause removed from the U.S. Constitution.I said "technically false" since there is an ever-growing trend to refer to the U.S. national government as the "federal government"; so a case could be made that in the U.S.A., the term "federal government" has come to refer to the national government in everyday speech, even though the term is academically incorrect.
