The U.S. Constitution oversees the distribution of shared power between the national government and state governments. Each of the 50 states can make its own internal laws under an independent constitution, as long as these are compliant with the national constitution. Exclusive powers are powers that are reserved either by the national government or by the state government, but are not shared between both.
Federalism is the principle that gives power to the state governments. The U.S. Constitution divides the powers between the states and the Federal government.
The U.S. Constitution specifies what the national government is allowed to do, and it states that any powers not granted to the national government therein are reserved to the states or the people.
This concept is known as federalism. The United States and Canada are two example countries that employ this form of government. The European Union is also sometimes recognized as a federalist system, although to a different extent.
