I think you mean the control over States leans more toward the federal level than the state level.
I don't think you know what "federal" means. "Federalism" is when the central government has equal power with states, provinces, or whatever. That is no longer the case because the central government has seized more and more powers from the states, making the US a de facto, weak unitary country.
