The debate about the division of powers between the national government and the state governments is a recurring theme in our society. This is because many believe that each state government should have a greater power (in its territory) than the national government, since state governments know their environment and would establish laws and regulations in a way more adapted to their reality, contrary to the norms and laws established by the national government that generalize all states, without taking into account the particularity of each one.

Some also believe that state governments have been relieving themselves of responsibility for socio-economic programs, acting as if it were the duty of the national government alone. What unbalances the balance of power between these two governmental spheres.

The discussion is long and requires many elements to be taken into account, but we must support an equal division of powers between the national government and the state government, where neither overlap with the other, but both work together in favor of national advance .
