In a federal system, both the federal government and the unit governments (state or provincial governments) have their own distinct powers and responsibilities. To preserve their autonomy and prevent one level of government from overpowering the other, the Constitution must be supreme. The Constitution outlines the division of powers between the different levels of government and ensures that each level respects the powers of the other.
