Two important aspects of the U.S. Constitution—federalism and the separation of powers—represent, in part, the framers' efforts to divide governmental power. Federalism limits government by creating two sovereign powers—the national government and state governments—thereby restraining the influence of both. http://wwnorton.com/college/polisci/american-government12/brief/ch/03/outline.aspx
