Question

Democratic to Federalism type of government. What's the difference? How will it help ease the poverty in the Philippines? Is this another plan to extend the term of the current people on the seat? What is this all about?

Answer 1

They are not mutually exclusive. Democratic typically means some body is elected by the citizens. Federalism means a sharing of powers between different levels of government like States and the National government.

The United States, Canada, Australia, and Germany are examples of nations that are democratic and federalist at the same time.
