WHAT IS CONSTITUTION??
Almost everything we do is governed by some set of rules.
There are rules for games (like- soccer), for social clubs and
for adults in the workplace. There are also rules imposed by
morality and custom that play an important role in telling us
what we should and should not do.
Dual Government

government of each state.
Distribution of Powers
There is a distribution of legislative and executive powers between the federalgovernment and the
state government.
Supremacy of the Constitution

constitution, which provides for such division of power is a document of fundamental
importance, and it is from such constitution that a federal polity drives itsexistence.
Authority of Courts
The interpretation of the constitution assumes great importance in the successful working of a
federal constitution. This power of interpretation is vested in the courts. The courts are
empowered to declare any action on the part of the government to be ultra virus; if such action
violets the provisions of the constitution. Therefore, the judiciary acting as the constitution and
guardian of the constitution assumes immense importance in a federal state.
