There are federal systems where the federal government has lots of power and federal systems where the federal government has little power. There are unwritten rules and norms when it comes to governance and systems are only as strong as the willingness of people in power to follow those norms. In the U.S. those rules/norms are dissolving. A new equilibrium must be achieved. That equilibrium might end up being states seceding.
