Solution
A federal state is one in which several political units or communities come together to form a union under a common central government for matters of national importance while retaining their own separate governments (state, provincial, or cantonal) for handling local matters. This system ensures a division of powers between the central and regional governments. The United States of America (USA) is a classic example of a federal state.
