B. federalism
Explanation
This question takes from the content of the 10th Amendment of the U.S Constitution. The amendment asserts that powers not clearly outlined and designated by the Constitution are implicitly handed over to the state governments. This provides a safeguard for the autonomous governance of each state and is the basis premise which enables 'Federalism' in America. None of the other choices align with this core purpose. 'Checks and Balances', and 'Separation of Powers' deal with the division and interaction of powers within the branches of the federal government. 'Judicial Review' is the power of the courts to assess the constitutionality of laws and government actions.
