Federalism Class 11 Notes

CBSE Notes for Federalism Class 11 Notes

Our constitution adopted a federal structure where states can govern independently yet center will maintain its control over the states.
The characteristics of federalism are:
a. It is an institutional mechanism to accommodate two sets of polities - one at the regional level and other at the national level. so here in india, we are having two types of government one at the state level and other at the national level. and these governments are independent. in some countries, like the USA there is a system of dual citizenship which means that USA citizens have two citizenship, one of the USA and other of there state. but in india we have only one citizenship that is of indian nationality. our constitution does not recognize any other nationality that is of being Assamese, Bengali, etc. Please refer Federalism Class 11 Notes for more information.
