History can explain a lot about international politics. The United States was founded by colonists striving for independence. Wanting freedom from England and prepared to go it on their own, they reluctantly agreed to unite for purposes of defense and trade.

The system they created established the federal government as one of limited authority. Most powers remained with the people and the local (or state) governments.
