We have a system for doing this - it's called Federalism.

Unfortunately, the federal aspect of the US government has almost disappeared as a result of the 16th amendment and the 17th amendment and a few other factors such as mandates that the states must follow in order to receive federal funding. The US government is now plainly a national one.
