Unitary systems concentrate power within the central government while federal systems allow some autonomy to first-order civil divisions, though the central government maintains authority over some areas. The readings discussed how governments differ on where to concentrate state power, with unitary systems keeping it centralized and federal systems distributing it both centrally and locally. The document asks to compare and contrast the strengths and weaknesses of unitary and federal systems of government.

Unitary vs Federal Systems: Comparing Government Power Structures
1. As we have seen through our readings, governments differ on
where the power of the state should be held.
Unitary systems concentrate the power within the central
government and little or no authority is granted to the
component areas. In contrast, federal systems allow first-order
civil divisions to have some autonomy, while the central
government maintains authority over some areas.
Take a moment to compare and contrast the strengths and
weaknesses of each system.
