Political systems with federal and state governments are federalist. In other words, there is a vertical divison of powe.
In the United States, the state government has all of the powers invested to it in the Constitution, specifically in Article IV. The state governments also have any powers that are not explicitly given to the federal government in the Constitution.
By contrast, the federal government has those powers delegated to it in Article I.
Questions of federal versus state government have dominated American politics for centuries. When the Constitution was being ratified, James Madison (among others) wrote the Federalist Papers supporting a strong federal government. Alexander Hamilton was also a strong supporter of federalism. Thomas Jefferson, on the other and, supported strong state governments.
Today, a lot of people argue that the Civil War was a fight for state sovereignty. In the 1960s, Jim Crow laws also raised questions about the place of the federal and state governments in the lives of citizens. In 2009, the Arizona immigration law again raised the question, showing that the line between federal and state responsibility is a hazy one.

∙ 11y agoI think that is an absurdity. US vs US ?
I suggest territories formed by ten states, whose general-governor is subordinated to the Federal Government. Each state has its governor subordinated to the general-governor of every territory. The five general-governors are politically subordinated to a special Federal Minister. No Military issues are involved on the territories' governments.
