Concurrent Powers
concurrent powers
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.
Concurrent Powers
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.
