    Federalism is a system of government that divides power between a central government and constituent parts like states or provinces. There are two types of federations: holding together, where powers are shared between parts to accommodate diversity with more power given to the central authority; and coming together, where independent states form a larger unit and states enjoy more autonomy than the holding together type.

    Federalism

    Federalism is a system of government in which powers have been divided between


    the centre and its constituent parts such as states or provinces. It is an institutional
    mechanism to accommodate two sets of politics, one at the centre or national level
    and second at the regional or provincial level. 

    There are two kinds of federations:

    1. Holding Together Federation – In this type, powers are shared between


    various constituent parts to accommodate the diversity in the whole entity.
    Here, powers are generally tilted towards the central authority. Example:
    India, Spain, Belgium.
    2. Coming Together Federation – In this type, independent states come
    together to form a larger unit. Here, states enjoy more autonomy as
    compared to the holding together kind of federation. Example: USA,
    Australia, Switzerland.
