Key Features of Federalism
Some of the important key features of federalism are the ones mentioned below:
- Two or more levels/tiers of government.
- Different levels of government rule the same citizens but they have their jurisdiction in terms of legislation, taxation, and administration.
- The jurisdictions of various levels of government are defined by the constitution to guarantee their existence and authority so that they can’t intrude into each other’s domain.
- Central government can’t change fundamental provisions of the constitution, especially those which are related to federalism as per its discretion. Such changes require the assent of state governments.
- In case of a dispute between central authority and state authority, the highest court has the power to interpret their respective power as per the constitution.
- Both central and state authority has defined sources of taxes to ensure financial autonomy for smooth functioning.
- The federal system has two objectives first to safeguard and promote the unity of the country; second to accommodate regional diversity.
