federalism. Federalism is a system of government in which power is divided and shared between a central authority (federal government) and regional or local governments (state governments). This division of power helps to prevent one level of government from becoming too powerful.
A hallmark of unitary governments is the centralization of power, where the national government holds the primary authority and can delegate powers to local governments as it sees fit. In this system, local governments operate under the jurisdiction of the central authority and do not have constitutionally guaranteed autonomy. This contrasts with federal systems, where power is constitutionally divided between national and regional entities.
