How Federation is formed?

Formation of Federation
The formation of Federation as a government is actually coupled with the evolution of modern national state. With the extension of the natural territorial boundaries of the modern state, there emerged two basic principles, affecting the organisation of policy.
Firstly, different political entities voluntarily organized themselves into bigger political organisations.
Secondly, the territorial nationalism paved the way for the emergence of a wider union. Wars and conquests, however, played the role in this respect.
Federal system is comparatively a recent development in the present civilisation and it came into existence due to the promotion of political consciousness and development of political institutions.
