The highest authority in the United States that controls the division of powers between the central and local governments is the Supreme Court. Through its interpretation of the Constitution, the Supreme Court determines the limits of power for both the federal government and state governments. Its decisions help define the balance and boundaries of power between the two levels of government.

Federalism is a system of government in which power is divided between a central, national government and regional governments, typically states or provinces. This division allows for both levels of government to have their own areas of authority while also sharing some powers. The Constitution outlines the distribution of powers in a federal system of government.
A devolved government divides power between a central authority and the regional authority.
The system of government in which the central government holds all the power and delegates authority to local levels is known as a unitary system. In a unitary system, the central authority can create or abolish local governments and determine their powers. This contrasts with federal systems, where power is shared between the central and regional governments. Examples of unitary states include France and Japan.
