Federalism
- Federalism shares a root in the Latin word foedus, meaning ‘pact’, or ‘covenant’.
- Federalism refers to legal and political structures that distribute power between two distinct levels of government, neither of which is subordinate to the other.
- The central feature of federalism is, therefore, the principle of shared sovereignty.
- USA, Switzerland, Belgium, Canada, and Australia are some examples of classic federalism.
