Answer 1

☘️ Answer :

Federalism :

Federalism is a form of government in which powers and authority are distributed between a strong centralized government and individual sovereign states that exist under that government's authority. For example, here in the US, each state has the authority to regulate its own citizens, but they are also bound to follow the laws of the US government (under limitations as enumerated in the Constitution).

Three features of federal system :

1. Different tiers of government govern the same citizens, but each tier has its own jurisdiction in specific matters of legislation, taxation and administration.
2. The jurisdictions of the respective levels or tiers of government are specified in the constitution.
3. 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.
