Abstract
Distribution of Power: Federalism helps distribute power between the central government and states or regions, preventing concentration of power and promoting democracy. When studying federalism, several problems can arise related to the concept and its applications. These include, for example, the concept of federalism: What does the concept of federalism mean for different countries? Interpretations and applications can vary from one country to another, making the study more complex. Balance of Powers: How can a balance be achieved between the central government and the states? In some cases, tensions may arise over the distribution of power, leading to legal and political conflicts. Civil Rights: How does federalism preserve the civil rights of individuals and groups? There may be challenges in ensuring respect for these rights within a system that distributes power. As for the study plan, we divide the research into the following plan: Section One: Federalism: Definition and Related Concepts. Section One: The Concept of Federalism. Section Two: Federalism and Related Concepts. Section Two: Aspects and Characteristics of Federalism. Section One: Aspects of Federalism. Section Two: Characteristics of Federalism.
