Why doesn't Federalism always work?
Federalism doesn't always work because the laws that the state government makes rarely obstructs the national laws. This is where the national government powers are supervised. Some examples that the states cannot create are declare war, coin money, or raising an army or navy.

Possible Disadvantages of Federalism
- It allows inequalities between different states- An example of inequalities between different states is education funding. Some states may fund more money on education than others, which could be considered an inequality.
- States declaring to change existing national laws- States can fight against laws in existence on certain national laws and bring them to court, which could possibly result not enforcing these laws.
