federal structure  

Definición

  • A federally structured political system consists of (at least) two levels of government and combines shared rule on the federal level with self-rule of the constituent states. Different from regionalized political systems where some power is devolved to regional territorial units, in federal systems, vertical power separation is constitutionally guaranteed so that changes in the power distribution can only be implemented according to the amendment rules—that is, with the consent of the overwhelming majority of the affected territorial units.
