The states reserve all powers that are not given to the federal government in the Constitution. Individual states can decide whether or not to levy a state income tax. Many parts of the codes of civil law of the various states are different from state to state. There are other examples.

How do you define federalism?

A federal system of government is one that divides the powers of government between the national (federal) government and state and local governments. The Constitution of the United States established the federal system, also known as federalism. Under federalism, each level of government has sovereignty in some areas and shares powers in other areas. For example, both the federal and state governments have the power to tax. Only the federal government can declare war.

To what extent has power shifted away from federal government towards the states in the last 25 years in the USA?

I am in agreement. The Federal government has extrapolated its authority over the states. The fact that the Federal government can step in and cease or regulate state-run-agencies is proof. State's Rights has diminished much more greatly than ever, probably in the last 2-3 decades. The states are their own sovereign power, so to speak, they are ultimately regulated by a higher authority--the Federal government. As far as i can tell the states have lost some of their power not the federal government.
