Federalism

1.  Federalism,  mode of political organization that unites separate states or other polities within an overarching political system in such a way as to allow each to maintain its own fundamental political integrity. 
2.  195 nation states are in all types of different countries around the world.
3.  25,Of the eight largest countries in the world by area, seven—Russia, Canada, the United States, Brazil, Australia, India, and Argentina—are organized on a federal basis. (China, the third largest, is a unitary state.) Federal countries also include Austria, Germany, Malaysia, Mexico, Nigeria, Switzerland, and Venezuela
4. These countries have a larger landmass comparatively than the rest of the countries in the world.
5.Unitary system, a system of political organization in which most or all of the governing power resides in a centralized government. It contrasts with a federal system.
6.More than 150 have a unitary government, the largest of these are France, China, Japan, United Kingdom and Sweden, Italy.
7.In a unitary government the main government controls everything so this takes pressure off of the lower level government to make hard decisions, but in this type of government it is a lot easier for power to be bought and bribed thus resulting in more corruption. The federal government is a type of government that allows states to reside underneath one political scheme whilst still having  a say in government affairs, but i this type of government it takes longer to enact policies and laws. 
8.It depicts federalism in a bad light saying that even though states think they have power the government is still controlling and manipulating them into decisions. State want so to have it both ways.

9.This cartoon depicts that the federal government as a bad thing that uses there power against the helpless on small issues on individuals that are already suffering.


10.This one depicts the government as saying things they will allow,states having power, but when states ask for small appeals the government will not allow them to make the change.


11.That federalist government is like a three tiered cake and explains how the national government handles foreign affairs while the local government handles minuscule community  and state things. Then explains how government supplies public education and  national parks.


12.It is different from the example in the video because the two parts of government are combined together in a swirl and then instead of different layers it is the same pattern of teamwork happening again and again in the same repeating pattern.
