National government deals with the entire nation; for example, what is the legal voting or drinking age. State government does the same thing, but on the state level; for example, at what age can a teenager receive a driver's permit. State laws cannot contradict national laws; for example, the state could not say that the legal drinking age was 15, because the national law has set it at 21.

A federal system is a system that divides the powers of government between the national (or federal) government and state and local governments. The national government is the top (or highest level) of government. It controls the entire nation or country and it controls state and local governments.
