Federalism is a system of government in which the power is divided between a central authority and various constituent units of the country. Both these levels of government enjoy their powers independent of each other.
For example, in USA and India there are specific jurisdictions specified by the Constitution to each level of government.
The dual objectives of Federal Government are:
To safeguard and promote the unity of the country.
To accommodate regional diversity.
The two aspects that are crucial for the practice of Federalism are:
Government at different levels should agree to some rules of power sharing.
They should trust each other and abide by the agreement made between each constituent unit. Therefore, mutual trust and agreement to live together makes a country an ideal federal system.
There are two or more levels (or tiers) of government.
Different tiers of government govern the same citizens, but each tier has its own jurisdiction in specific matters of legislation, taxation and administration.
The jurisdictions of the respective levels of government are specified in the constitution. So the existence and authority of each level of government is constitutionally guaranteed.
The fundamental provisions of the Constitution cannot be unilaterally changed by one level of government. Such changes require the consent of both the levels of government.
Courts have the power to interpret the constitution and the powers of different levels of government. The highest court acts as an umpire if disputes arise between different levels of government in the exercise of their respective powers.
Sources of revenue for each level of government are clearly specified to ensure its financial autonomy.
The federal system thus has dual objectives: (i) to safeguard and promote unity of the country, (ii) and at the same time accommodate regional diversity. Therefore, two aspects are crucial for the institutions and practice of federalism: mutual trust and agreement to live together.
