Federalism is a system of government in which power is divided between a central, national government and regional governments, typically states or provinces. This division allows for both levels of government to have their own areas of authority while also sharing some powers. The Constitution outlines the distribution of powers in a federal system of government.

A hallmark of unitary governments is the centralization of power, where the national government holds the primary authority and can delegate powers to local governments as it sees fit. In this system, local governments operate under the jurisdiction of the central authority and do not have constitutionally guaranteed autonomy. This contrasts with federal systems, where power is constitutionally divided between national and regional entities.
