Ans 1
Federalism is system of government in which power is divided between a central authority and varies constituent units of the country. Usually, a federation has two levels of government. One is the national government which is responsible for certain particular issues and matters of national interest. The other is the provincial or state governments which shoulder the responsibility of day-to-day administration at the local or regional level.
 
Following are the three important features of federalism:
  1. In a federal structure of government, there are two or more levels or tiers of government.
  2. The different tires of the government govern the same citizens. However, each tier has its own jurisdiction in specific matters of legislation, taxation and administration.
  3. The Constitution of the country specifies the respective jurisdictions of the different tiers of government. Therefore, the existence and authority of each tier gets constitutionally guaranteed.

Kindly ask the rest of the questions as separate queries.
