Why federalism is required in canada?

Answer 1

The Federal government system in the United States is a two-way relationship between state governments and the federal government. Federalism serves as a system of checks and balance of power.

The history of the United States lends itself to such a system. Americans wanted to do away with being ruled by the King of England and wanted to build a system where no one person or power could ever take absolute power again. The federal system allows state governments to govern most issues in their territories and allows the federal government to control international policies, foreign affairs, currency and issues that would affect the nation as a whole.

Answer 2

It is required because without federalism there is nothing to enforce such as laws etc.

Strictly speaking, like any other country, no particular form of government is required. The current United States uses a federal republic form of government for two major reasons:

1. The writers of the Constitution had direct experience with several other forms of government, most notably a Constitutional Monarchy and a Confederacy, and neither proved workable (from their point of view). They also were knowledgeable about several other possible government types, as they were considerably well-educated; in particular, Absolute Monarchy, Direct Democracy and Oligarchical Republic were considered. However, Federalism seemed to them to be the best match of functionality and liberty.
2. The strong level of individual identification with a state (rather than the nation as a whole) argued for using some form of government where states had some level of autonomy, while at the same time avoiding the problems associated with a confederacy. Federalism offered this possibility.

As to why we still are using a Federal Republican form of government today, the answer is simple: because it has worked "good enough" so far.
