The Framers of the Constitution wanted to establish a government based on federalism. Which statement best reflects an idea the Framers would most likely have supported? A. Power should rest strongly in the national government.

B. Each state should have a government equal in power to the national government.

C. The powers should be divided between the state and national government.

D. The powers should rest strongly in the state government.

C. The powers should be divided between the state and national government.

Explanation:

"Federalism" refers to the division of power between the state and the national government. This means that the sovereignty of a nation depends on both of their powers. Such condition limits the centralization of power within the national government. This allows both of them to work cooperatively with each other in order to achieve a common goal in the nation.

If the Framers of the Constitution wanted to establish this type of government then, choice C is correct.

delete this question pls it wont let me exit out

d. i assume the underlined word is "role." reformat if it isn't.

explanation:

role is closest to part because when replacing words, "playing a vital decision," "playing a vital activity," and "playing a vital dollar" don't make logical sense. the only meaningful choice is "playing a vital part."

this fits one of merriam-webster's definitions of role: "a function or part performed especially in a particular operation or process."
