Often times in a republic form of central government, such as the one the USA has, power is shared within the central government itself and power is also shared by the individual states. For example the US Constitution makes it clear that whatever powers the Constitution lays out for the central government, such as tariffs and treaties, is clear. The Constitution also say that whatever powers not given to the central government belong to each state to handle.
As an example, the laws governing a state's judicial system as it relates to capital punishment, is for each state to decide. With that said, a state like Texas can have a death penalty but, that statute the state passes governing the use of the death penalty must adhere to the US Constitution which prohibits cruel and unusual punishment.

The name is federalism. The central government provides some services and the state/provincial governments provide others.

It is based on the term federation (also confederation), which refers to a binding agreement between a group of separate member governments.
