Solution

Answer: The Correct answer is option (D) – Governmental power is divided between different levels of Government.

Federal System of Government

Same citizens are governed by different tiers of Government.

In matters related to administration, taxation, and legislation each tier of Government will have its own jurisdiction.

There is a constitutional guarantee on the authority and existence of each tier of Government.

One level of Government does not have the powers to unilaterally change fundamental provisions of the Constitution. Both the levels of Government will have to give their approval.

The Constitution specifies the jurisdiction of different levels of Government.

To ensure financial autonomy of the different levels of Government, sources of revenues are specified.

All levels of Government will have to accommodate regional diversity, unity of the country has to be promoted and safeguarded.
