Question

What is mean by federalism

Answer 1

Federalism is a system of government in which the power is divided between a central authority and various constituent units of the country.

Answer 2

Federalism gives the executive its power but it also gives states a great deal of power as has been clarified in Dillon’s Law. On many occasions, theSupreme Court has been called on to adjudicate what federalism means (usually in favour of theexecutiverather than states) but the Constitution put a great deal of faith in federalism when the Founding Fathers first constructed it.

Federalism is a system of government in which a written constitution divides power between a central government and regional or sub-divisional governments. Both types of government act directly upon the people through their officials and laws.

Both types of government are supreme within their proper sphere of authority. Both have to consent (agree) to any changes to the constitution
