In a very short summary, our Federal system of government is one that creates three balanced branches of government, with power and authority shared among them and limits placed upon each branch. The Federal government is assigned the task of improving things of national importance. Our Federal system leaves the great majority of power in the hands of the individual states. Each state has its own constitution, governor, legislature, etc. The Federal government was designed to have minimum interference in affairs the states should control. Over the years since the Civil War and the 14th Amendment, and especially after the Depression and Great Society years, the Federal government has slowly assumed more power and the states, less.
