Which of the following features are true about a federal system? (i) Distribution of Powers (ii) Separation of Powers (iii) Dual Government (iv) A strong Union Government
(i) and (iii) only
A federal system has two levels of government, the Union (central) and the States, each with its own sphere of authority. This dual government is a basic federal feature.
The Constitution distributes legislative, executive and financial powers between these levels through lists such as the Union, State and Concurrent Lists, so distribution of powers is also a federal feature.
Separation of powers concerns the division among legislature, executive and judiciary and exists even in unitary states, while a strong Union Government is a unitary feature of the Indian system, not a federal one.
Hence, (i) and (iii) only.
