Question

Hi please give the answer to this question.
what undermines the spirit of federalism?

Answer 1

many old States have vanished and many new States have been created. Areas, boundaries and names of the States have been changed. In 1947, the boundaries of several old States were changed in order to create new States. This was done to ensure that people who spoke the same language lived in the same State. Some States were created not on the basis of language but to recognise differences based on culture, ethnicityor geography. These include States like Nagaland, Uttarakhand and Jharkhand.

Answer 2

Explanation:

In those days, the Central government would often misuse the Constitution to dismiss the State governments that were controlled by rival parties. This undermined the spirit of federalism. ... This led to a new culture of power sharing and respect for the autonomy of State Governments.
