Disagree

No, customers should pay the sales tax from the seller’s state

Federalism emphasizes the importance of states' rights and their ability to regulate their own affairs, including taxation. This answer suggests that customers should pay the sales tax from the seller's state, which could undermine the authority of the buyer's state to regulate its own tax policies. Therefore, many federalists would likely disagree with this statement, as it could weaken states' rights in favor of a more centralized approach to taxation.

Strongly disagree

No, the federal government does not have the authority to impose state and local taxes

This answer misinterprets the question, as it is about state sales taxes, not federal taxes. Federalism supports the idea of states having the power to regulate their own affairs, including taxation. Therefore, most federalists would disagree with this statement, as it implies that the federal government is imposing state and local taxes, which is not the case.
