The term "federalism" is also used to describe a system of government in which sovereignty is constitutionally divided between a central governing authority and constituent political units (such as states or provinces).
Federalism is the political system where power is shared between the national government and smaller political units. The national government and smaller units are bound together by a political covenant.
The United States federal executive departments are among the oldest primary units of the executive branch of the federal government of the United States-the Departments of State, War, and the Treasury all being established within a few weeks of each other in 1789. In that sense they are the traditional units of federal administration.
According to the United States Energy Information Administration (EIA) in 2011, total energy consumption in the United States was 97.7 quadrillion British Thermal Units (Btu). Of this, 6.8 quadrillion Btu or 7.0% was from renewable sources, 0.67 quadrillion Btu or 0.69% was from Biofuels, and 8.3 quadrillion Btu or 8.5% was from Nuclear sources. The balance of 83.81% came from fossil fuels.
The South was overwhelmingly in favor of secession in 1861. Some states were more militant and had larger majorities of secessionists than others but all members of the Confederacy joined voluntarily. That being said there were sizable populations in the South that were in favor of staying in the Union. West Virginia for instance, broke away from Virginia since most people in that area were against secession. Every state in the Confederacy, except South Carolina, had organized units in the Union army. Tennessee, a member of the Confederacy, contributed around 30,000 men to Union forces, more than some of the smaller New England states. Conversely there were substantial numbers of men from border states like Kentucky and Missouri that fought for the South. It was truly a war that pitted brother against brother.
French "states" are called Departments.

Federalism is a system of government in which sovereignty is constitutionally divided between a central government and constituent political units like states.
No, not every country has states. States are typically used in federal systems where power is divided between a central government and subnational units. In unitary systems, countries may be divided into regions, provinces, or other administrative divisions instead of states.
A full scale ruler is typically divided into inches or centimeters, with smaller increments for more precise measurements. Each inch is divided into smaller units such as quarters, eighths, or sixteenths. Similarly, centimeters are divided into smaller units like millimeters for accuracy in measuring.
