FEDERALISM - EXPANDING HORIZONS IN INDIA - LEGAL INTROSPECTION
Keywords:
Federalism, Union And State Governments, IndiaAbstract
Federalism fundamentally means division of legislative and executive power between central government and regional governments so that each government can work independently in its own sphere. Federalism implies the sharing of constituent and political power, that is the power to govern at two levels but there may be local governments also within a state. Every federal system requires division of powers between the Union and State Governments and both are independent in their own sphere and not subordinate to one another. To avoid the chaos and conflict between the two competing jurisdictions, the power has been divided between the center and the states and division of power is one of the most important feature of the federal constitutions.
