and the centre to work together and yet function
independently .

• 2.Division of power-division of power between centre
and states
• 3.Written constitution- Written constitution which
defines the structure , organisation and power of the
central as well as state govt. , so that the two operate
within their respective spheres without inerfering in
each other`s jurisdiction.
• 4.Rigid Constitution-Rigid constitution which can be
amended either by the joint action of the federal and
states legislature or by an independent authority.

rather flexible.
Unitary features

Unitary features

territories directly governed by the central
government and do not enjoy any
independent powers or autonomy.

emergency provision in the constitution also
poses a serious challenge to the federal
character of the Indian Polity .

provision regarding the appointment of Governor
of States by the President is also clear violation of
the federal principle.
