Answer 2

Federalism is a system of government in which sovereignty is divided between a central authority and constituent political units, such as states or provinces. Thus, power is shared between national and provincial governments. Historically, the United States has had an evolving relationship between national government and states, with federalists advocating for a stronger central authority. Issues regarding "states rights" continue to be debated, including the death penalty, assisted suicide and gay rights. In modern Europe, "federalist" often describes one who supports a common government in the form of the European Union, with economic and political powers that may supersede national laws. Examples of other federalist governments include India, Canada, Australia, and Brazil.
