Answer: Federalism

Explanation:

Federalism was recognized as aggregate state of government, mixing a federal government with state governments in a well defined political system. Its unique feature, demonstrated in the example of contemporary federalism by the US under its Constitution (1787), is stated as a relationship of equity between two levels of state (government) entrenched. Therefore it can be referred as a state of government where there is a distribution of strength/powers between these two levels of government.
