Definition of Federal State
In accordance with the work A Dictionary of Law, this is a description of Federal State : A state formed by the amalgamation or union of previously autonomous or independent states.
A newly created federal state is constitutionally granted direct power over the subjects or citizens of the formerly independent states. As such, the new federal state becomes a single composite international legal person. Those former entities that comprise it have consented to subsume their former sovereignty into that of the federal state, although they retain their identity in municipal law. Examples of federal states include the USA and Switzerland.
Compare confederation.
