A federal government is one which:
- Divides Powers: Shares authority between a central government and regional or state governments, each operating independently in certain areas.
- Ensures Autonomy: Allows states or regions to manage their own affairs while adhering to a unified national framework.
- Constitutionally Established: Operates based on a written constitution that defines and limits the powers of each level of government.
This structure balances national unity with regional diversity.
