Federalism:

• Federalism is a form of government in which multiple parts of the nation's component entities share power with a central authority.
• In this way, federations and unitary governments are contrasted.
• The sub-units are either subject to the central government or there is only one level of government under the unitary system.

The key features of Federalism:

• Government is divided into two or more levels, sometimes known as tiers.
• The same citizens are governed by multiple levels of government, but each level has exclusive authority over certain areas of law, taxation, and administration.
• The constitution specifies the jurisdictions of the various levels or tiers of government.
• Therefore, each level of government is guaranteed by the Constitution to exist and to have authority.
• No level of government may unilaterally alter the fundamental rules of the constitution.
• Both levels of government must agree on such reforms.
• Thus, the federal system aims to preserve and advance national unity while also taking into account regional variety.
• The federal system of governance establishes a division of authority between the federal government and state governments.
• The constitution specifically outlines the sources of funding for both the federal government and state governments to ensure their financial independence, implying that these are also the governments''' primary sources of income.
