Federalism is a system of government where power is divided between a central authority and constituent political units, like states. The phrase "states' rights" refers to the idea that states possess certain rights and powers independent of the federal government. This concept often emerges in debates over the extent of federal authority versus state autonomy, particularly in areas like education, healthcare, and civil rights. Thus, federalism provides the framework within which states' rights are both asserted and contested.
