Detailed Solution

A federation usually has two levels of government and the central governments cannot order the state government to do something.
In a federal system, there are at least two levels of government. This facilitates the vertical division of power and hence, the power is shared among different levels of the government. Although these levels are hierarchical to the extent that they rule smaller and larger areas, each of them has its area of authority. They have absolute power over these areas. Even though the central government rules the entire country, it cannot pointlessly interfere in the working of any state government and order it to do something. The state governments derive their powers not from the central government but from the Constitution.
