Answer 1

Answer:

The exact balance of power between the Central and the State governments and within various state governments varies from one federation to another. This balance depends mainly on the historical context in which the federation was formed. There are two kinds of routes through which federations have been formed.

The first route involves independent states coming together on their own to form a bigger unit so that by pooling sovereignty and retaining identity they can increase their security.

This type of ‘coming together’ federations include USA, Switzerland and Australia. In this first category of federations, all the constituent states usually have equal powers and are strong vis-a-vis the federal government.
