Federalism
the national government and the state governments
in the US, the Tenth Amendment to the Constitution
The States have governments because in the Constitution, the National government cannot rule the country alone. When there are multiple governments, states can vary the laws made by the national government. it gives everyone more freedom
Federalism is never explicitly stated but it is embedded in the US constitution. As a result, power is kept in the states.
They argued that the new government would provide a better balance between the national government and state governments. Hope that helps!
The anti-federalists opposed ratification of the U.S. Constitution. They believed that the U.S. Constitution gave the national government too much power. They believed that the state governments should have more power than the national government.
In the Constitution the states were intended to have more power, and now National Government has more power but not as much power as a State government has on a State. In other words National government has more power to the country but the state government has more power to the state.
Federalism is a form of government in which a constitution is created that will distribute powers between a central government and subsidiary governments. This is the type of government that the founding fathers created for the United Stated.
