Summary/Abstract: Federal government is the most prevalent pattern of the vertical distribution of powers in the world. It may also serve as an efficient instrument for settling down the problems of multicultural societies. „The second attempt“ of the federalization of Ethiopia was provoked mainly by the multiethnicity and multilinguality of the population, which usually calls for specific institutional solutions.
