Federalism Quizzes & Trivia

Many of today’s modern Democratic governments take the form of Federalism – a centralized National government, and smaller state and local governments.

Despite the separation, national and state governments share power – what is the name of this type of power?

Over time, more countries have adopted a federalist approach to government. Can you name three federalist countries? Hint: Britain isn’t a federalist government, but several movements have been started to unite Europe as a whole.
