Question

discuss how is a unitary form of government different from a federal form of government with examples

Answer 1

heya here's your answer...

see..
in a federal government..we have a written constitution ..a dual state policy and we have 2 governments..one at the centre and one at the state..e.g - India , United states of America, Germany and Australia..

HOWEVER, IT IS IMPORTANT TO NOTE THAT INFIA IS IN A FEDERAL GOVERNMENT BUT WITH SOME FEATURES OF A UNITARY GOVERNMENT

in a unitary government..all the powers lie with the union or central government and there are no state governments..e.g. France and United Kingdom..

one more thing about this is that India is not a strict federal polity but a quassi-federal polity with some elements of unitariness..

HOPE THIS HELPS YOU.

Answer 2

In a federal form of government, the central government shares its powers with the various constituent units of the country. The central govt. and the constituent governments (state govt and local govt) are separately answerable to the public. For example, India is a federal country in which the power is divided b/w the central govt. and the state government.

In a unitary form of govt, all the power is exercised by only one government. The central government can pass orders to the provincial or the regional governments. For example, China follows the unitary form of govt.
