can someone differenciate between federal system and unitary system?
Answers
Answer:
In a federal form of government, the central government shares its powers with the various constituent units of the country. For example, in India, power is divided between the government at the Centre and the various State governments.
In a unitary form of government, all the power is exercised by only one government. For example, in Sri Lanka, the national government has all the powers.
Answer:
Federal Government -
The system has multiple hierarchy levels, with both the central authority and the states (or provinces) both being sovereign.
The central or national rules override the state rules.
There is a balance between the levels of government.
Power and responsibilities are shared between national and local levels. In a federal form of government, the term “federal” is also used to refer to the national level of government.
Examples include United States of America and Nigeria.
Unitary Government :-
There is no hierarchy of sovereign powers.
States have no authority to pass their own laws, and the central or national government can order the states to do anything.
The federal government has a huge percentage of the power.
Examples include Japan and Saudi Arabia.
