Problem 3 - Entrance Test

Which of the following countries is an example of a 'holding together' federation?

Correct: C

India is an example of a 'holding together' federation, where a large country decides to divide its power between the constituent states and the national government. In such systems, the central government tends to be more powerful vis-à-vis the states. USA, Switzerland, and Australia are examples of 'coming together' federations.
