Federalism is a form of government in which a written constitution provides for a division of powers between a central government and several
regional governments.
Federalism creates separate judicial and law enforcement systems at the state and federal levels, with court and police functions specialized to deal with the unique challenges each level of government faces. Federal and state courts have specific functions, as does law enforcement at each level of government.
