True.
Federalism is a system of governance that involves a division of powers between a central government and constituent political units, like states or provinces. It decentralizes policies by allowing these subnational units to have their own legislative, executive, and sometimes even judicial powers. This means that the different regions or states can have different policies on issues such as education, transportation, healthcare, and law enforcement, that are tailored to the specific needs and preferences of their local populations, while the central government takes care of nationwide responsibilities, like defense, foreign policy, and monetary policy.
