- System where government power is divided between national and state (local) governments — Federal system
The United States functions according to a system of governance called federalism, which means that the White House (national government) shares power with smaller units like state, district, and municipal governments. States actually have their own Constitutions, which tend to be more specific than the national one. While Washington controls foreign, defense, and monetary policy (among others) over the whole country, it delegates to state & local governments everything which has to do with police departments, schools, driver’s licenses, and parking tickets for example.

Antifederalists preferred the previous 1777 document serving as a constitution, the Articles of Confederation and Perpetual Union, because it gave state governments more power. A leading Antifederalist figure among the Founding Fathers was Patrick Henry.

Federalists also existed as early as the United States' creation by the Founding Fathers. A prominent example is John Adams, second president of the U.S. They however lost influence at the turn of the 19th century with the election of Thomas Jefferson.
