Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:What is federalism?

Let us get back to the contrast between

Belgium and Sri Lanka that we saw in

the last chapter. You would recall that

one of the key changes made in the

Constitution of Belgium was to reduce

the power of the Central Government

and to give these powers to the regional

governments. Regional governments

existed in Belgium even earlier. They

had their roles and powers. But all these

powers were given to these

governments and could be withdrawn

by the Central Government. The

change that took place in 1993 was that

the regional governments were given

constitutional powers that were no

longer dependent on the central

government. Thus, Belgium shifted

from a unitary to a federal form of

government. Sri Lanka continues to be,

for all practical purposes, a unitary

system where the national government

has all the powers. Tamil leaders want

Sri Lanka to become a federal system.

Federalism is a system of

government in which the power is

divided between a central authority and

various constituent units of the

country. Usually, a federation has two

levels of government. One is the

government for the entire country that

is usually responsible for a few subjects

of common national interest. The

others are governments at the level of

provinces or states that look after

much of the day-to-day administering

of their state. Both these levels of

governments enjoy their power

independent of the other.
