प्रश्न
Why does the Government function at two levels in a federation?
उत्तर
- The system in which the administration of a country is cooperatively run by governments at two levels, i.e., the federal or central level and the state level, is called federalism or a federation.
- Looking after the administration of a territory as large as India from a single capital city is difficult and may also lead to the neglect of some far-flung areas.
- Citizens of such far-flung areas are not able to participate in the affairs of the government.
- To avoid this, the government functions at two levels in a federation like India, which has a large territory and a huge population.
