Detailed Solution

The above statement is True.
There are two categories for federation. The first category is the ‘coming together’ federation. It includes the USA, Australia, and Switzerland. In the first category, each constituency or state has an equal share of power, and no single constituency gets an upper hand over others. The second category is the ‘holding together’ federation. In this category, the powers are divided among the states and the central government. India also practices the second category. Unlike the coming together federation, the central government enjoys an upper hand in terms of power over the states. During the rifts between state and union, the union has the authority to override the state's decision. Hence, they have unequal powers with central government being more powerful than the states.
