Is the US a feudal state?

As for the second point, in the USA, of course, there is no medieval federalism in the form of a confederation, there should also be separate armies and so on, but nevertheless, in the USA, decentralization is very significant and probably the strongest in the world, among federations.
 
In the United States, there are at least 2 signs of a feudal system.

1 The right of absolute veto. This is a feudal order, which says that in the legislation, de facto, the king is head, since he can reject any bill.

2. Strong de-centralization is a clear sign of feudalism, which distinguishes it from monarchy, priesthood system and parliamentarism.

Are there any more signs of feudalism?
(I'm not saying that feudalism is something bad)

Yes it is now.

In almost every case, feudalism coincided with a profound weakening of the State, particularly in its protective capacity.

Whether the power and wealth agent that takes the place of government is a local baron, lord, king, or corporation, if it has greater power in the lives of individuals than does a representative government, the culture has dissolved into feudalism.

Bluntly, Bloch states: “The feudal system meant the rigorous economic subjection of a host of humble folk to a few powerful men.”

We were saying this in 2005. 20 years ago


This doesn’t mean the end of government, but, instead the subordination of government to the interests of the feudal lords.

Once the rich and powerful gain control of the government, they turn it upon itself, usually first eliminating its taxation process as it applies to themselves. Says Bloch: “Nobles need not pay taille [taxes].”
 
Yep. there's a lot of feudin' going on.
