The biggest benefit of federalism is that it creates 2 layers of protection. You have a central government, that functions to keep the country working as a unit, but also works to keep the states from encroaching on individuals and becoming too intrusive. The same works for states. The states have a LOT of control over what their citizens should be subject to, for example, criminal laws, property laws, contract laws, etc. are decided by the state, not the federal government and they aren't allowed to govern those areas. The states keep the feds from encroaching in that manner.
One major advantage of federalism is the ability for the people to be involved in their government's actions. One disadvantage of federalism is the amount of money spent on campaigning.
One of the advantage for federalism in the USA is that state governments can adopt their own policies whereas the disadvantage is that politicians could get involved in corruption or any other scandals.
The four models of federalism are command federalism, dual federalism, functional federalism and cooperative federalism. The United States uses the dual federalism model.
The three eras of federalism are dual federalism (layer cake), cooperative federalism (marble), and new federalism.
