Question

what is the difference between federal and feudal form of government

Answer 1

Federalism refers to the political philosophy where a group is bound together with a representative head that is responsible for governance. It is also a system in which sovereignty is divided constitutionally between a central governing body and constituent political units, provinces or states. The word ‘federalism’ originated from the ‘foedus’ which is Latin for covenant.

Feudalism can be said to be the opposite of federalism in the sense that it is a decentralized socio political structure in which the monarchy weakly tries to exert control over land by an agreement with regional chiefs. Feudalism today is more of a concept that brings to mind the political scenario of Medieval Europe comprising fiefs, vassals and warring lords. Feudalism as a concept originated from the term ‘fief’ or fee and was not taken as a formal political system by the people.
