Federal Constitution

A federal constitution has features that are the exact opposite of those in the unitary form of constitution. Unlike Unitary constitution, federal constitution is a two-tier system of governance, where the governance is divided and sub-divided into states and provinces with constitution of their own, having independent powers of making decisions. The central government has its supremacy in some matters, where the state governments have supreme powers on their states in al other matters. The two types of governments work in tandem, co-ordinate and work towards making the country a better organized and governed space. It is an association of governments working for a higher, common goal. The key points of a federal constitution include the compulsion of a written document as the constitution, rigid procedure of amendment, distribution of powers between state and centre and supremacy of judiciary.
