Powers are divided between the national and state governments to create a system of federalism, which allows for a balance of authority and responsibilities. This division helps prevent the concentration of power in a single entity, ensuring that both levels of government can address the unique needs and interests of their respective populations. It also allows states to exercise local control and experiment with policies, while the national government maintains consistency in areas that require broader oversight. This structure promotes cooperation and accountability between different levels of government.
