Federalism divides power among national, state, and local governments, with each level responsible for powers assigned to it. It can also create a strong national government while preserving authority for lower levels. Giving most control to Congress is not a benefit of federalism; Congress is one branch of the national government, and federalism does not place most government control in it.
