Federalism was created by the framers of the constitution to form an agreement between opposing opinions of how America should be governed. Its purpose was to allow power to be devided between the individual states and the federal government. This power balance insures that no one group can dominate the nation entirely.
Neither state nor federal government receive their powers from each other. Rather, they receive their powers directly from the people, the federal and the state powers are governed by the people. This concept of government promotes the nation as a whole to work together.
