2.what are the dual objective of federalism.

Answer 1

Answer:

1) Federalism is a system of  government in which the power is  divided between a central authority and  various constituent units of the  country

the key features are:

• There are two or more levels (or  tiers) of government.
• Different tiers of government  govern the same citizens, but each tier  has its own JURISDICTION in   specific  matters of legislation, taxation and  administration.
• The jurisdictions of the respective  levels or tiers of government are  specified in the constitution. So the  existence and authority of each tier of  government is constitutionally  guaranteed.
• The fundamental provisions of  the constitution cannot be unilaterally  changed by one level of government.  Such changes require the consent of  both the levels of government.
• Courts have the power to interpret  the constitution and the powers of  different levels of government. The  highest court acts as an umpire if  disputes arise between different levels  of government in the exercise of their  respective powers.
• Sources of revenue for each level  of government are clearly specified to  ensure its financial autonomy.
• The federal system thus has dual  objectives: to safeguard and promote  unity of the country, while at the same  time accommodate regional diversity

2) The federal system thus has dual objectives: to safeguard and promote unity of the country, while at the same time accommodate regional diversity. Therefore, two aspects are crucial for the institutions and practice of federalism. Governments at different levels should agree to some rules of power sharing.

Answer 2

HERE IS UR ANS BUDDY...

Federalism is compound mode of two governments. That is, in one system there will be a mixture of two governments – state government with central government.

FEATURES OF FEDERALISM:-

1. The essential feature, which is the definition of federalism is that there are two levels of governance in the country at least. There can even be more. But the entire power is not concentrated with one government.

2. All levels of governance will govern the same citizens, but their jurisdiction will be different. This means that each level of government will have a specific power to form laws, legislate and execute these laws. Both of the governments will have clearly marked jurisdiction. It will not be that one of the government is just a figurehead government.

3. Another important feature is that the constitution must guarantee this federal system of government. Which means the powers and duties of both or all governments must be listed down in the constitution of that country hence guaranteeing a federal system of governance.
