Homogenous population DOES NOT promote the formation of the Federal State.

Key Points

Formation of Federal State:

  • A federation (also known as a federal state) is a political entity characterized by a union of partially self-governing provinces, states, or other regions under a central federal government (federalism).
  • It can be considered the opposite of another system, the unitary state.

  • There are two or more levels (tiers) of government.
  • Each level of government has its own jurisdiction in matters of legislation, taxation, and administration even though they govern the same citizens.
  • Powers and functions of each tier of government are specified and guaranteed by the Constitution.
  • The Supreme Court has been given the power to settle disputes between state governments.
  • Shape, size, diversity, presence of several core areas, etc. are favorable for any kind of federal government formation.
