Federalism is a mode of government that combines a general level of government (a central or federal government) with a regional level of sub-unit governments (e.g., counties, provinces, states, cantons, territories, etc.), while dividing the powers of governing between the two levels of governments. Johannes Althusius (1563–1638) is considered the father of modern federalism, along with Montesquieu.
