Discussion
Consider the following statements :
A. 'Coming together' federations is a type of federal arrangement in which Centre has more power than the States.
B. Switzerland is an example of 'coming together' federation.
Choose the correct answer from the codes below :
Answer: B
The answer is B is correct but A is wrong.
In a 'coming together' federation, independent states join to form a larger unit while keeping their identity, so the states are usually strong and roughly equal in power with the centre. The USA, Switzerland and Australia are examples, so statement B is correct.
Statement A is wrong: a federation in which the centre has more power than the states describes a 'holding together' federation, such as India, Spain or Belgium.
