The 10th Amendment
Federalism is a political system in which power is divided and shared between a central govenment and local govenments. Today, federal governments are not in the majority. Most nations do not have federal systems of government. The United States started out as a confederate type of government, with the states having most of the power. The Constitutional Convention was called to improve the government under the Articles of Confederation but decided to scrap that system and develop a new Constitution. The result was the federal system. The national government is supreme but the states also have certain powers they share with the national government and powers exclusive to the states. Smaller city/states may have had a form of federalism but the United States was the first major power to develop that political system for itself. It has withstood the test of time.
Expressed powers are those powers directly stated in the Constitution. Most of those powers are found in the first three articles of the Constitution. Examples are the power to levy and collect taxes, to coin money, to declare war, and to regulate commerce among the states. Expressed powers are also known as enumerated (listed) powers.
Article 1 of the United States constitution provides for delegated powers (also referred to as enumerated powers) to the national government. One important power is for the national government to collect duties, taxes, excises in order to repay debts, and to fund the defense forces and for the general welfare of citizens. Another power is to regulate trade within the states and foreign countries. Third, is a power to access credit on behalf of the United States.
It means that the governmental power of the United States is divided, or "Separated", into 3 branches- the Executive (the president), Legislative (the congress), and Judicial (the Supreme Court). The separation of powers was to ensure that no one branch of the government became too dominant. (Note that "Separation of Powers" does not only apply to the United States; some other democracies have similar ways of making sure there are checks and balances on the power of the country's leaders.)

Yes, federalism is a vertical division of power. Federalism states that power is shared by the federal and state government. Vertical divisions of power divide power between levels of government, such as the states and the federal government.
