Correct answer: A. the states inefficiency

  • A. the states inefficiency
  • B. the tenth amendment
  • C. urban influence on the states
  • D. excess state revenues

Explanation

Federal responsibilities expanded partly because state governments were often unable or inefficient in dealing with increasingly complex social and economic problems. The Tenth Amendment reserves powers to the states, so it does not itself explain federal expansion.
