In a federal system, the constituent units (states) are not subordinate to the central government; rather, power is divided between coordinate levels of government, each supreme in its own sphere as defined by the constitution. While the Indian federal system has a strong central bias, the principle of state autonomy in their defined areas means they are not constitutionally subordinate in all respects. Options A, B, and D are features present in the Indian system reflecting aspects of federalism or its framework: states have their own powers (A), courts interpret the constitution and powers (B), and revenue sources are specified (D).
