Key Features |
Significance |

Federalism |
This refers to the existence of more than one level of government in the country. Distribution of power makes the progress of a country fast. |
|
Separation of Power |
The three organs of the state, the legislature, the executive and the judiciary, exercise different powers. Thus, each organ acts as a check on the other organs of the state and this ensures the balance of power between the three. |
|
Fundamental Rights |
Fundamental Rights protect citizens against the absolute exercise of power by the state. These rights are essential for an individual to develop his/her personality and live with dignity. |
|
Parliamentary form of Government |
It provides an oppurtunity to every citizen to elects his representatives. This form of goverment is more democratic and less tyrannical. |
