The statement "Powers are not constitutionally shared" is not true of a federal system of government. In a federal system, powers are constitutionally shared between the central government and the constituent units (such as states or provinces). This means that there are certain powers that are reserved for the central government, and others that are reserved for the constituent units. The constitution is written and rigid, and there are component units with their own governments and legislative lists. Additionally, both the federal and constituent units are independent and co-ordinate in a federal system of government.
