Which is a shared power in the federal system?

  1. Establishing schools

  2. Declaring war

  3. Collecting taxes

  4. Granting titles of nobility

The correct answer is: Collecting taxes

In the federal system, both the federal and state governments share the power of collecting taxes. This is done to ensure a fair distribution of resources and to fund common services like national defense and infrastructure. Establishing schools (A) and granting titles of nobility (D) are solely within the powers of the state governments. Declaring war (B) is solely within the power of the federal government. Thus, C is the only shared power in the federal system.
