A federal system is characterised by features such as the division of powers between different levels of government, a written constitution to define this division, the supremacy of the constitution, independent judiciary, and often a bicameral legislature (where one house represents the units of the federation). Single citizenship is a characteristic of the Indian federal system (which has unitary biases) but is not a defining or universal feature of all federal systems. Many classical federal states like the USA have dual citizenship (citizenship of the federation and citizenship of the state).
