Answer:
1.It is comprised of two or more levels of government.
2.Both central and state governments govern the same set of the same citizens, but the level has varying powers in some issues like administration, taxation, and legislation.
3.The constitution guarantees the authority of each tier.
4.Any single tier of government does not hold the authority to change or alter the fundamental powers of the constitution of a federal country (unilaterally) but an agreement will be needed from both sides to modify any such fundamental power or right.
5.The courts have the authority to interpret the powers of different government tiers to ensure that they don’t change the constitution.
6.The constitution specifies sources of revenue for both levels of government. This ensures the financial autonomy of both tiers.
