Detailed Solution

The fundamental provisions of the constitution cannot be unilaterally changed by the Central government.
This would undermine the spirit of federalism as the Central government would become all-powerful. In a federal system, it is necessary to have two or more two levels of government. This allows for sharing of power vertically. Although the different levels of government rule over the same citizens, each of these different levels has its own areas of authority in which it can act freely and independently. To allow these levels of government to work simultaneously, their separate powers and roles are mentioned in the Constitution.
