	Federal Reserve - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Federal Reserve System is composed of a central Board of Governors in Washington, D.C. and twelve regional Federal Reserve Banks located in major cities throughout the nation.
		The Federal Reserve Board was created by the U.S. Congress through the passing of the Owen-Glass Act, signed by President Woodrow Wilson on December 23, 1913.
		The Federal Reserve System was created via the Federal Reserve Act of 1913 which "established a new central bank designed to add both flexibility and strength to the nation's financial system." The legislation provided for a system that included a number of regional Reserve Banks and a seven-member governing board.

	Democracy Papers - Publications
		Federalism is a system of shared power between two or more governments with authority over the same people and geographical area.
		Federal governments are not common -- most nations adopt a unitary government in which power is centralized -- nor is federalism essential to democracy, as the experience of parliamentary governments demonstrates.
		A federal system thus protects the freedom of citizens to oppose national policy they view as misguided, and by this means it promotes the effective and necessary criticism of government that leads to the strengthening of democracy itself.

		Federal judges have the power to order state officials to take actions the federal courts deem mandated by the federal constitution, for example requiring school desegregation, ordering modifications in apportionment of state legislatures or supervising state mental health institutions.
