How does federalism work?
"Federalism" is a system of government written in the constitution that divides the powers of the government to limit the power of the national government. Even though the Constitution utters that each state can make their own laws, the laws made cannot interfere with the national laws. For example, Illinois make a law that forbids women to vote because the Constitution says all people are meant to vote in this country.
