The national government as laid out in Article 1 , section 8 of the constitution where it lists the 18 powers of the U.S.. Particularly in the area of national defense and foreign policy, the different states would be too likely to move too slowly in uncoordinated fashion and drag other states into wars and disputes. Being centralized(national) would allow all states to function as one unit rather than all going in different directions.
