What Are the Points of Difference Between the American Federation and the Indian Union?

Through the American Federation and the Indian Union are characterized with a dual polity, there are certain striking differences between the two systems. In America, the dual polity is followed by the dual citizenship i.e.

  1. A citizenship of the U.S.A. and
  2. A citizenship of the state.

There are a number of rights a state can grant to its own citizens and deny to non-residents. The Indian constitution in spite of being a dual polity has only a single citizenship for the whole of India. In the U.S.A., the Federal and the State Governments are loosely connected. Each state is free to make its own constitution, provided that it must be republican. But in India, no State has right to frame its own constitution. The constitution of the Indian Union and the States is a single frame.
