CEVAP:

The features of a federal system are the following:

• A federal system is established through a convenient union, where power is divided between a strong national government and smaller local states.

• The authority of exercising political power cannot be taken away from the general government or the state governments without common consent.

• ‘Areal division’ safeguards neutrality and equality in the process of representing the political interests of different groups. The divisions are used to secure local autonomy and the representation of different groups within the civil society.
