As long as people understand by “federal” you mean power BALANCED between the STATES and federal government (the true meaning of federal).

The term “federal” has been misused and misunderstood for quite a while now and to most it means giving more power to the US “federal” level of government.

The term “federal” has been misused . . .

Even Mark mistakenly uses that term for today's consolidated government.

Articles of Confederation - Entirely federal.
Framers' Constitution - Compound, partly federal.
Progressives' Constitution since 1913 - Consolidated, zero federalism.
