Abstract
It is well known that the constitutions of States are concerned with the identification of institutions competent to exercise external relations.
In general, countries are classified in terms of internal composition to simple states and Composite States, and one of the most Fame types of Composite States known are federal states.
It is also known that the practice of these relations varies in both types of countries.
In simple states, there is one authority that is competent to practice international relations. But, in the federal states differ among themselves in giving powers to the regions that make up those states in the practice of some of those relations which the federal authorities assume the burden of managing them.
