'''Federalism in the United States''' is the constitutional division of power between [[U.S. state]] governments and the [[federal government of the United States]]. Since the founding of the country, and particularly with the end of the [[American Civil War]], power shifted away from the states and toward the national government. The progression of federalism includes [[dual federalism|dual]], [[Cooperative federalism|cooperative]], and [[new federalism]].
