123 Go To Section: The Framers were dedicated to the concept of limited government. They were convinced Why Federalism? ● Government power poses a threat to individual liberty ● Therefore the exercise of governmental power must be restrained, and ● To divide governmental power, as federalism does, is to curb it and so prevent its abuse. Chapter 4, Section 1 23

123 Go To Section: Federalism Defined Federalism is a system of government in which a written constitution divides the powers of government on a territorial basis between a central, or national, government and several regional governments, usually called states or provinces.
