I think that federalism was a good idea for the United States. The U.S. is one of the biggest countries in the world, it would be really hard to make majority of the people happy under one national government. Giving some power to the states makes it easier for the country to meet the needs of everyone, or try to at least. Although, state governments and the federal government sometimes disagree, which is bound to happen sometimes, federalism has been pretty useful in keeping our country united.
