how does federalism ensure accommodation of diversities? why are there special provisions for some states and areas?
Answers
Answer:
Federalism is a form of government in which power is divided between the centre and
states under the guidance of constitution. In federal structure, there is on one hand a central
govt. having its jurisdiction on the entire country and on other hand states with their
respective governments. Central govt. looks after national and international matters whereas
the state govt. deals with state and regional matters.
Federal structures can be of two types. First through unification, where many newly
independent states unite together for achieving political, economic and social development
and to fulfill common goals like USA.
Second through separation, when a big country is divided into several states for
securing goal of healthy administration and other socio-economic objective, like Canada.
