national and state governments cooperate to meet citizen needs

Explanation:

Adherents of "marble cake" federalism believe in federalism as a model of cooperation among layers of government: supranational, national, regional, local.

Therefore the local and state governments are not separated spheres, rather they have an interrelationship for common policy and administrative goals.  

Grodznis is believed to have first used the term "marble cake" or "layer cake federalism" where the separated layers represent distinct spheres of power that are shared by both state and federal governments

The model assumes a measure of power, resources and programs between all the instances is present and a strong dependency and cooperation takes place.
