In a federal system there is a constitutional division of power between the central government and the states. The national government exercises authority over the whole national territory.
Seven of the world’s largest countries by area are organized on a federal system: Argentina, Australia, Brazil, Canada, India, Russia, and the United States.
A federal system has a mix of national and state or local governments
Each state or provincial government has its own executive, legislature, court system, taxing powers, police forces, educational systems, and other governmental organs
Brazil is a federal republic with 26 states and a federal district
Mexico is a federal republic made up of 31 states and the Federal District (Mexico City)

A federal government is a system that divides up power between a strong national government and smaller local governments. We'll take a look at how power plays out between the national and local government, and the benefits of a federal government.
