Swami Dayanand Saraswati was a staunch supporter of union governance system. He tried to establish the importance of a federal system instead of a monarchy.
He expressed the idea of three assemblies for the benefit of people –
1. Learning council,
2. Religious council
3. State council
According to him, the king would be the chairman, but he would have to work under the council. The king would operate the governance with the help of these three councils and the full and final power would rest with the people.
If the government machinery acts against the welfare of people then the people may oppose and boycott it judiciously and lawfully. It suggests a political revolution. These thoughts of Swami Dayanand Saraswati are considered the guide of the movements like Civil Disobedience and Non – Cooperation held under the leadership of Mahatma Gandhi.
