Definition of federalism
The concept of federalism has a recurring use in the field of politics since that way it refers to a proposal or doctrine policy that promotes that the power should be distributed between the central Government and the rest of the States / provinces associated with it, and that clear, belong to the same national territory. The concept is also used to refer to the political system that supports this idea. In the world there are many countries that federal regimes, the Republic of Argentina, Brazil, Canada, Germany, Mexico and United States, for example, are some of them. Then, in federations there are several autonomous territorial entities, usually as provinces, cantons, regions or States, and each of which has its own Government, a Constitution and also of legislative representatives and own courts. Obviously there is an interrelation with the central power, however, in the Executive, political and legal issues concerning their territories are certainly independent and not dependent on the central authority to decide on them far. However, it is important that let us underline that the Federal States do not have the right to secede from the Federation by unilateral decision of them. This is not practice possible. And must also check that in the international field these Federated States do not have jurisdiction per is regarding international as if it happens with the central State. And by case result shall not be considered as independent at the behest of international law. It is mentioned that federalism tends to have a Republican political system, i.e. in the manda law above all things and the equality in front of all who live in it. The above-mentioned countries and some others that today are organized on a federal format are that way because at one point in its history and because of the situation they decided to agree to the union to solve problems involving everyone; Another way has been the constitutional reform that ends up resolving the transition from a central administration to a federal.
