Our Federalism | Live Free or Die.
“Our Federalism” is a catchphrase for the system of jurisprudence belonging to the people of the United States.
In this way our federalism overcame the age-old monopoly of government and provided a significant legal mechanism to increase individual freedom, the ultimate aim back of the expression.
Mainly, the authors of the Constitution “split the atom of sovereignty”8 on the premise that “in division there is not only strength but freedom from tyranny.”9 Principal framer James Madison described the result as a compound republic10 designed to divide government power and maximize the freedom reserved to the people.
