Which statement would a federalists be most likely to agree with? a. the federal government can only function effectively if it has the ability to collect taxes. b. it is dangerous for a national government to have too much power. c. the federal government must act quickly to find new international trading partners. d. the united states should not have a single, powerful chief executive.

The correct answer is A.

Federalists support the establishment of a powerful centralized federal goverment and hence, many powers should be reserved to it, such as that of collecting taxes.

In a federal system, the power is shared between the local and federal goverments but in the end, the federal goverment is the supreme one that rules over all the others. This is the model promoted by federalists, while its detractors would rather delegate more powers to the states, so that their goverments could act indepedently from the central power in many more issues.

The federal government should be stronger than individual state governments.

Apex answer only.

the berlin blockade was an international crisis that arose from an attempt by the soviet union, in 1948–49, to force the western allied powers (the united states, the united kingdom, and france) to abandon their post-world war ii jurisdictions in west berlin. in march 1948 the allied powers decided to unite their different occupation zones of germany into a single economic unit. in protest, the soviet representative withdrew from the allied control council. coincident with the introduction of a new deutsche mark in west berlin (as throughout west germany), which the soviets regarded as a violation of agreements with the allies, the soviet occupation forces in eastern germany began a blockade of all rail, road, and water communications between berlin and the west. on june 24 the soviets announced that the four-power administration of berlin had ceased and that the allies no longer had any rights there.

the answer is a new goverment.
