Unitary-Federal-Confederal
Systems of government
Intro:
Unitary System of Government
In a Unitary System of Government the constitution concentrates power in the national government. The national government has the option to create regional governments to carry out its policies. The regional government may only exercise the powers the national government gives to them.
Federal System of Government
In a Federal System of Government the constitution divides power between the national government and regional government. Both the national and regional government have different responsibilities. The national governments responsibilities revolve around nation needs while the regional governments are based on regional needs like setting up schools.
Confederal System of Government
In a Confederal System of Government the power resides in the regions (Independent States). The regions give only enough power to the national government as needed to ensure security and set up activities among regions. The regions are the main power holders, not the national government.
