Federalism is a governmental system where authority is split between a central government and different regional units within the nation. This arrangement involves the central government and state or provincial governments sharing powers and duties.
The powers of the central government and the state governments are outlined in the country's Constitution. Each government level has its specific jurisdiction, and they function autonomously within their own domains.
Many countries worldwide, such as the United States, India, Canada, Australia, and Brazil, implement this form of government. It is viewed as a democratic system that enables power-sharing across different government levels, promoting a fairer allocation of power and resources.
