Under federalism, It would be both state and federal government that has concurrent powers. These are powers in nations with a federal system of government that are shared by both the federal government and each constituent political unit. Hope this answers the question.
The evidence found in the Declaration of Independence: "That
whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the
Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government,”
<span>The concept of natural rights and the notion of
the social contract were supreme in the thinking of the colonists when they dared
the right of Europe to control their economic and political lives. It's a
contract, meaning it can be cancelled by the people when they believe the
government is hindering their unalienable rights.

The Anti-Federalists found many problems in the Constitution. They argued that the document would give the country an entirely new and untested form of government. They saw no sense in throwing out the existing government. Instead, they believed that the Federalists had over-stated the current problems of the country. They also maintained that the Framers of the Constitution had met as an elitist group under a veil of secrecy and had violated the provisions of the Articles of Confederation in the means selected for ratification of the Constitution.<span>
