Federalism: Federalism is a system of government where power is divided between a central authority (such as the federal government) and regional governments (such as states). It allows for different regions to have varying degrees of political strength.
Devolution: Devolution is the transfer of some powers from a central government to regional governments. It can lead to increased political strength for those regions.
Autonomy: Autonomy refers to having self-government or independence. Regions with autonomy have more control over their own affairs, which can contribute to their political strength.
