Abstract

In support of the growing need to understand federalism, sustainability framework and distribution of powers need be given as much attention along the inception of the political benefits of federalism. In federalism, the powers need to be assigned to the tiers of the government. A competitive federalism setup will have more powers assigned to the states and retain some powers to the federal government those which the national government can effectively carry out.
