comparative study of federalism in india and usa .

Answer 1

Federalism can be simply defined as a form of government where there is interdependence of central government at the national level with its constituent units at the regional, state, or local levels. Etymologically, Foedus is the root Latin term from which the term Federalism is derived, which means a formal agreement or covenant or a treaty. It basically means sharing of decision making authority and devolution of power between the national and local governmental units, such that each unit is delegated a sphere of power and authority only it can exercise, while other powers must be shared. Justice Hugo. L. Black in the case of Younger v. Harris[1] decided by the United States Supreme Court wrote that Federalism meant “a proper respect for state functions, a recognition of the fact that the entire country is made up of a Union of separate State governments, and a continuance of the belief that the National Government will fare best if the States and their institutions are left free to perform their separate functions in their separate ways.”
