Federalism

Federalism is a system of governance that divides powers between a central authority and regional entities. In a federal structure, national and local governments share authority, each having its own responsibilities and powers. This can include delegated powers outlined in the Constitution, such as expressed, implied, and inherent powers. The 10th Amendment reserves certain powers for the states, while concurrent powers allow both levels to act in certain areas, like taxation. Federalism promotes a balance of power, ensuring local governments maintain significance alongside national governance. ###
