I think federalism limits government power by dividing it between a central authority and regional governments. This means that not all the power is in one place. It helps prevent one group or person from having too much control and makes sure different regions have a say in how they are governed. It's like having different parts of a team with different roles to keep things fair and balanced.

Federalism limits government power by dividing it between a central authority and regional governments, which helps maintain a balance of power.

It promotes cooperation among different levels of government and allows for more localized decision-making, resulting in a more responsive and accountable system of governance.
