Federalism is a system of government in which power is divided between a central, national government and regional governments, typically states or provinces.

Federal government v has multiple hierarchy levels, with both the central authority and the states (or provinces) both being sovereign.v the central (national) rules override the state rules v has a balance between them. IE the US v shared between national and local levels. In a federal form of government, the term "federal" is also used to refer to the national level of government. Unitary government v there is no hierarchy of sovereign powers. v states have no authority to pass their own laws, and the central (national) govt can order the states to do anything -- just like a state can order a town to do anything, because the town is not sovereign. v is the federal government has a huge percentage of the power.
