Detailed Solution

Switzerland is not an example of a 'holding together' federation.
There are different kinds of federations based on the balance of power between the Union government and the state or regional government. A federation where a big country divides the power between the national or central government and the states is commonly known as a "holding together" federation. In this type of federation, the central government usually has more powers than its constituent states. Sometimes, the constituent states may have different powers, or some may be granted special powers. Countries like India, Belgium, and Spain have a "holding together" federation. Thus, Switzerland is not an example of a "holding together" federation. It is an example of a coming-together federation.
