Why laws differ from state to state and how those differences are related to federalism?

Laws differ from state to state in the United States of America because the are technically their own "country" with their own constitution, law makers, and all the other things a normal country would have. People in these separate states have to follow the laws in those states as if the had left the US. and gone to a foreign country. All these states are not independent though. They are all controlled by the Federal government. Under the constitution of the United States the individual states are allowed to make their own laws regardless of what the other states do, as long as it doesn't deviate from federal laws which are laws that govern all the people of the United States. This brings up the idea of federalism. Federalism is the idea that the power to govern the people is split up between a governing representative head and the states, provinces, or even separate countries involved. The differences between the laws of different states is caused by this idea that governing power be split up. The people of a state decide how they want to be governed and their representatives decide how everyone in the federation should be governed.
