Federal politics

Federal politics refers to the governance system where national-level decisions are made by a central government representing the entire country. It includes the creation and enforcement of laws, national policies, and budget management. Key components are elected officials, such as the President or Prime Minister, and legislative bodies like Congress or Parliament. Federal politics often involves balancing diverse regional interests, managing national security, and addressing issues that affect the whole country, such as economy, healthcare, and education. It operates alongside state or provincial governments, which handle local matters within their jurisdictions.
