Federalism in the United States establishes limits on Congressional power by reserving certain powers for the states, thereby creating a balance between state and federal authority. The Constitution’s Tenth Amendment is key, as it restricts Congress from overstepping its authority into areas specifically designated for states. Landmark cases like United States v. Lopez have reinforced these boundaries, showing that Congress cannot use its commerce powers to regulate local matters unrelated to interstate trade. This principle is essential to maintaining a federal structure where both state and national governments coexist with defined roles, supporting autonomy and preventing centralized overreach.
