That this utopian ambition was eventually accomplished is an indication of how incredibly successful American republican federalism proved to be. Secondly, federalism in the United States is closely linked to national identity, as it was conceived in opposition to Europe where States were absolutely sovereign which resulted in a permanent state of war |
