What is Federalism?

One is the government for the entire country that is usually responsible
for a few subjects of common national interest. 
The others are governments at the level of provinces or states that look

Both these levels of governments enjoy their power independent of the

What is Federal System?
In this form of administration, there are
two levels of government
(Central/National and State). The
central government cannot order the
state government to do something.(two
different types of law-Central and
states laws). State government has
powers of its own for which it is not
answerable to the central government.
Example: USA.
