Given that federalism disperses the power (through senators and governors and such) instead of just having a lead executive, and that those senators are elected as senators of a state, rather than of the nation, the power is decentralized. Also, in the national election, 51 different presidential elections occur. The winner of most of these wins the election; therefore, no one area can have a deadlock on the elections. Also, with more layers of government, more people can be involved in government, and there are more palces where the people can interact wit h the government. Also, federalism decentralizes policies by making most matters subject to both the centralizing force of the national government and the dispersing force of the states.
Dual Federalism: a system of government in which both the states and the national government remain supreme within their own spheres, each responsible for some policies. This is commonly known as "layer cake" federalism.
Politics is usually people from the government. Policy is an written contract.
