    Federalism is a system of government that divides power between a central federal government and regional governments. It is characterized by having two levels of equal government - the central/federal level and provincial/state/regional levels. Federalism differs from confederalism where the regional level is superior and from devolution where the regional level is subordinate. Examples of federations include the United States, India, Brazil, Mexico, and Germany.

    Federalism is the mixed or compound mode of government, combining a general government (the central or "federal"

    government) with regional governments (provincial, state, cantonal, territorial or other sub-unit governments) in a single
    political system. Its distinctive feature, exemplified in the founding example of modern federalism by the United Statesunder
    the Constitution of 1787, is a relationship of parity between the two levels of government established. [1] It can thus be defined
    as a form of government in which there is a division of powers between two levels of government of equal status. [2]
    Federalism differs from confederalism, in which the general level of government is subordinate to the regional level, and
    from devolution within a unitary state, in which the regional level of government is subordinate to the general level. [3] It
    represents the central form in the pathway of regional integration or separation,[4] bounded on the less integrated side by
    confederalism and on the more integrated side by devolution within a unitary state. [5]
    Leading examples of the federation or federal state include the United
    States, India, Brazil, Mexico, Russia, Germany, Canada, Switzerland, Argentina, and Australia. Some also today
    characterize the European Union as the pioneering example of federalism in a multi-state setting, in a concept termed the
    federal union of states.[6]
