Question 4.
What is the main difference between a federal form of government and a unitary one? Explain with an example.
Answer:
The main difference between a federal form of government and a unitary one are:
1. In federal form of government, the powers are divided between central and state level and both the governments are independent at their levels. While in unitary form of government there is only central government. State governments are dependent on central governments. In this system state governments get their power from central government.

2. In unitary form of government, central government can give orders to state governments, but in federal form of government, central government cannot give orders to the state governments.

3. In unitary form of government, state governments are responsible to central government for their work, while in federal form of government state governments are not responsible to central government for their work. In these, both governments are responsible for public at their levels.
For instance India, U S.A., Canada, Switzerland, Australia, Brazil have federal governments, whereas France, Britain, Japan have unitary form of government.

Question 7.
Here are three reactions to the language policy followed in India. Give an argument and an example to support any of these positions.
Sangeeta : The policy of accommodation has strengthened national unity.
Arman : Language-based States have divided us by making everyone conscious of their language.
Harish : This policy has only helped to consolidate the dominance of English over all other languages.
Answer:
We are agreed with Sangeeta’s reaction that accomodation policy of main Indian languages has strengthened the national unity. A person lives easily with both identities like Kannada and Indian or Bengali or Indian or Tamil and Indian or Gujrati and Indian. The separation of states based on languages has saved India dividing among 14-15 nations. So it is clear that the language policy of India has given respect and honour to all languages, that has strengthened national unity. Although Hindi has been recognised as an official language but it can’t be imposed forcefully at any state. States have their own languages, in which they do the work of state governments.

Question 8.
The distinguishing feature of a federal government is :
(a) National government gives some powers to the provincial governments.
(b) Power is distributed among the legislature, executive and judiciary.
(c) Elected officials exercise supreme power in the government.
(d) Governmental power is divided between different levels of government.
