Question

Two governments exist: one where there is a central government and many smaller state governments, and a second where there is a central government and no state governments. What are these types of governments?

direct democracy and representative democracy


confederal and federal systems of government


federal and unitary systems of governments


unitary and parliamentary systems of government

Answer 1

The two governments you are describing are federal and unitary systems of government.

In a federal system, power is shared between a central government and smaller state governments, with each level of government having its own separate powers and responsibilities. Examples of countries with federal systems of government include the United States, Canada, and Australia.

In a unitary system, on the other hand, power is concentrated in the hands of a central government, with no separate state or regional governments. Examples of countries with unitary systems of government include France, Japan, and the United Kingdom.
