The Two-Level System of Power of the Federal State

A contemporary theory of the state and law considers the two-level system of power as an indispensable feature of federal states. The interpretation of this organizational feature of state power depends on how the sovereignty of the federal state is interpreted, the nature of federal relations, the federal form of government itself. The purpose of the study is to identify the essential features of the two-level construction of the power system in the federation, characterize both levels of state power and their relations between each other. As a result of the study, the author highlights the concept of two-level construction of state power, describes the reasons for this structural feature of the power system, demonstrates the internal logic of relations between federal and regional levels of government in the general context of the federal model of the state structure. The study of the state power features in the federation allowed the author to look at the essence of federalism “from the inside”, from the point of view of the system-structural organization of the power apparatus. The two-level system of power appears as an internally agreed way of organizing the state mechanism, where every level has the functions and characteristics inherent only to it and that in their interaction reveal the main meaning of the federal structure— the preservation of state integrity.
