It is difficult to answer legal questions without the specific details of exactly where this is.

If it is in Australia, the commonwealth government is not too powerful. This is because of the Australian Constitution. The Constitution promotes what is known as the Separation of powers, and the division of powers. These two concepts are distinctly different, so don't confuse them.

Separation of powers - creates three arms of government (judicial, executive, and legislative) where each acts as a review body for the other. This means that the 'rule of law' is inevitably upheld and stops one part of the government from becoming 'too powerful'.

Division of powers - This concept divides powers between the federal government and the states. This is under section 51 of the Constitution where the powers stated belong to the Commonwealth, those not stated belong to the states.
