In a unitary government the power is held by one central authority but in a federal government, the power is divided between national (federal) government and local (state) governments. 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.

Many of the delegates at the Philadelphia Convention argued for a stronger national government, as one of the weakness of the Articles of Confederation was that it created a weak national government. The Constitutional Convention was held in 1787.
States maintained their own governments during the US Civil War, it's just that their respective federal/confederate governments held alittle bit more power over them than usual...being in a state of war an all (an undeclared war...but a war none the less).
It is a form of government where most power is held in the hands of the local governments.
concurrent powers
The powers the U.S. government holds due to the fact that these powers have generally been held by national governments, are referred to as inherent powers. Other kinds of powers are expressed powers and implied powers.
Powers that are held by both the federal and state governments are known as concurrent powers. These powers include the power to tax, establish bankruptcy laws, build roads, and create lower courts.
Concurrent powers are those that are exercised simultaneously by the national and state governments. Some examples of concurrent powers are:taxationbuilding roadsestablishing bankruptcy lawscreating lower courts

Delegated powers Concurrent powers Reserved powers
Residual powers refer to the authority to legislate on matters not explicitly assigned to the federal or state governments by a constitution. In the context of the United States, residual powers are primarily held by state governments, as the Tenth Amendment of the U.S. Constitution reserves powers not delegated to the federal government for the states and the people. This allows states to address issues and enact laws that are not covered by federal legislation.
all those not designated to the federal government by the constitution as long as state laws do not conflict with national laws(WRONG) The correct answer is Reserved Powers.
