In our system, the federal government does have ultimate authority, but states have a lot to say in what goes on as well. Powers for the federal government = delegated powers, Powers for the state government = reserved powers, Powers shared between the federal and the state are concurrent powers.

This system prevents any one branch from gaining too much power and turning the country towards tyranny.

Federal judges are nominated by the President, but have to be approved by Congress. Bills must be passed by both houses of the legislative branch, signed by the president, and can even be challenged in the courts.

The Bill of Rights, the first Ten Amendments, was created to specifically ensure the rights of the people
