Detailed Solution

In a ‘holding together’ federation, the Central government tends to be more powerful vis-à-vis the states.
There are two different ways in which federations might come into existence. They are the ‘holding together’ federations and the ‘coming together’ federations. The power relation between the Central and the state governments and among the state governments themselves is decided by the route that the countries choose. In a holding together federation, the Central authority decides to share power with the constituent units of the country. Thus, the Central government is more powerful compared to the state governments. This is done to ensure the unity of the country as a strong Central government can easily ward off the challenges faced by the country.
