How does federalism limit government power?

 
 Answer in 60 words or less. Start your response with "I think," and respond as if you were explaining this to an elementary school student.
I think federalism limits government power by dividing it between a central authority (like the national government) and state governments. This means that no single government has all the power, and they have to share it. It helps prevent any one government from becoming too powerful and gives more control to the states and their citizens.
