Compare And Contrast The Federal System Of The Us And India

When we compare the federal systems of the United States and that of India, several differences are apparent.
-In the US the president acts as both the head of state and the head of government, while in India the president acts as the head of state and the prime minister is the head of government. The US operates under a full presidential system, while the republic of India operates under a parliamentary system. One of the main differences between the parliamentary system and the presidential system is that under parliamentary system the government may be removed through a vote of no-confidence by the legislative branch. Under the presidential system the government and the legislature serve a fixed term.
-In the United states, there is a federal

In answering the question which is more applicable to the EU situation we must look first at the challenges that need to be overcome, as the EU transitions from its position now into a complete government. The most difficult part of forming a true European Federation is convincing its increasingly Eurosceptic population that there can be a Pan-European government in which member states will still be able to preserve their national identity and remain in control of areas of politics that can also be handled at state

States were not willing to give up sovereignty to a federal government in all areas except for national defense and interstate commerce. Throughout the years the federal government increased their influence until it affected nearly all areas of government. In the US system, and certainly in the earlier stages, states retained much control over their state policies, which is why the American system is better suited for a federal Europe than the Indian system. The transfer of power could happen over time, as areas like immigration, border control and fiscal policy are handed over to European authority first out of sheer necessity. States will be able to retain much of their powers at first, but over the years the system could develop into a federation in which the central governed hold more sway, as we have seen in the US over the years. The system used by India is too centralized to work in Europe. It has been described by many scholars a quasi-federal and the Indian states have far less power than their American counterparts. Another feature that in present in the US system, but not in the Indian variant is the fixed number of upper house seats per state. This would work a lot better in Europe as even small nations are guaranteed an equal number of upper house seats as large nations. This would ensure a more even balance of power and limits the risk of large member states like
