Question

write five demerits of federal rule

Answer 1

Demerits

1. It is inefficient because of diversity of law and administration.

2. There is always a tug-of- war between national and local interests.

3. It is highly expensive.

(these are general but now I will say important:-)

Centre Government is Excessively Powerful:

First, the unitary system provides for the creation of an all-powerful central government with full centralisation of powers. It involves a possibility for central dictatorship or despotism over local areas. In the words of E.B. Schulz, "The primary objection to the unitary system is its lack of formal safeguards against centralisation of government functions."

2. Danger of Inefficiency:

The central government often behaves inefficiently because of being overburdened with all the work. It often finds itself not fully capable of meeting the pressure of work resulting from the socio-economic-cultural functions that it has to perform as an agent of the modern welfare state.

3. Ignores Local Needs:

Another valid point of criticism against the unitary government is that because of being located at the centre and faced with pressing national problems, it very often fails to satisfy local needs. The local governments, being its administrative agencies do not enjoy the much needed autonomy required for meeting the local needs locally.

4. Unsuitable for Big States:

The unitary system is suitable only for small and homogeneous states. For big states or states with racial, linguistic, cultural, religious and regional diversities, federal system alone can be suitable.

5. More Dependent on Bureaucracy:

A unitary government is more bureaucratic. The existence of a single political executive and legislature for the whole of the state makes way for the dominance of the administration by the bureaucrats. It IS the bureaucracy which really runs the central and local administration.
