• The unitary system gives the main powers to the


central government. State, provincial, and local
governments are all created by the central
government. The non-central governments have only
the powers that are appointed by the central
government.
EXAMPLES

FEDERAL GOVERNMENT
Unlike the unitary system, the federal system
develops when a number of states or provinces
federate, or form a union, eventually in order to
establish a nation. In a government using the
federal system, the powers of the governments are
jointly shared between the central government
and the more local or regional governments (state,
providential, district, etc.)
EXAMPLES
The United States and Canada have federal
systems. Other countries that use the federal
plan include Argentina, Australia, Austria,
Belgium, Brazil, Germany, India, Mexico, and
Switzerland.
