The principle of ________ gives the federal government the power to override any state or
Local law in one particular area of policy.

A) cooperative federalism
B) grant-in-aid
C) preemption
D) home rule

Preemption gives the federal government the power to override any state or local law in one particular area of policy. This is typically done when the federal government believes that states or localities are not adequately addressing a particular issue or when there is a need for national consistency in a particular area of policy. Cooperative federalism refers to a system in which the federal government works closely with state and local governments to address policy issues. Grant-in-aid is a mechanism through which the federal government provides funding to states and localities for specific purposes. Home rule refers to the ability of local governments to exercise a degree of autonomy and make decisions for their own communities.
