ප්‍රාන්ත රාජ්‍යය

ප්‍රාන්ත රාජ්‍යය (En= federated state) is a territorial and constitutional community forming part of a federal union.The ඕස්ට්‍රේලියන් National Dictionary: Fourth Edition, pg 1395. (2004) Canberra. ISBN 0-19-551771-7. Such states differ from sovereign states, in that they have transferred a portion of their sovereign powers to a federal government.Constitution of the United States of America: Tenth Amendment, Reserved Powers A federated state holds administrative jurisdiction over a defined geographic territory and is a form of regional government.

In countries with federal constitutions, sovereignty is shared between the federal government and its component states. These states are partially self-governing and are usually afforded a considerable degree of autonomy. In most cases, within its own territory, a federated state's administrative rights and powers cannot be over-ruled or vetoed by the federal government. However, the laws governing the relationship between federal and regional powers can be amended through the federal constitution and state constitutions.
