QUESTION 1

Subsidiary is an organizing principal which claims that matters should be handled by the lowest,

smallest or least centralized competent authority. Through this principle, the government is

limited that:-

- That decisions are devolved to the lowest practical level of government.

- Problems of government can best be solved where they occur at the local, state or

national level.

- The central ( national) government should perform only those tasks that cannot be

performed at a lower level of authority.

An example would be when a problem occurs at a locality, such as when there is a conflict

between two parties. Instead of the central government sending ‘development or negotiation

experts’ to the area, the people of that locality are tasked with providing the solution, being

trusted to be expertise in their own matters. The local mayor would be in charge of such issues.

QUESTION 2

One advantage of studying politics in the United States is the ability to compare

demographic characteristics across states. Discuss the three characteristics most commonly

used to compare problems, policies and policy outcomes in the States. Briefly explain what

each characteristic, that is, variable, is measuring. What is the broad definition of economic

development found in the text and what does economic development tell researchers

seeking to compare the states?
