1.       The supremacy of the constitution:- There must be a written constitution. A written constitution is one in which provisions are written down in a document for both the federal government and state governments. The constitution is the supreme authority.

 

2.       The division of powers:- In a federal form of government the powers of the government are divided between a government for whole country and government for parts of the country in such a way that each government is legally independent within its own sphere.

 

3.   The rigidity of the constitution:- According to Prof. Dicey, a rigid constitution is one under which certain laws generally known as constitutional or fundamental laws cannot be changed in the same manner as the ordinary laws are changed.

Constitutional laws refer to those provisions of the constitution. Ordinary laws are those laws enacted by the parliament. The constitutional law is placed above the ordinary law.
 

4.  The independent judiciary:- In a federal government, conflicts may arise between the federal government and a state government or between state governments. The power to settle the conflicts or to interpret the constitution is given to the judiciary. The judgement given by the court must be obeyed by the centre as well as states.
