Unitary government is a kind of government system in which a single power, which is known as the central government, controls the whole government.

In a unitary system, the central government has all the power.  In a federal system, some powers are given to the central government and other powers are given to the lower levels of government (provinces or states).

In a unitary system, the central government gets to decide what powers, if any, to give to the lower levels of government.  Even if it gives them some power, it can always take it back.  The lower levels of government have no right to their power.

Federal government is a type of national government in which government have powers to delegates the power to other elected member of the states

In a federal system, they have a right to their powers.  The central government cannot just take those powers away.  Typically, as with the US, there is a written constitution that tells what powers go to the national government and what powers go to the lower levels.

Under the unitary system either there is only one level of government are the subunits are subordinate to the central government. The central government can pass and orders to the provincial on the local government. In federal system government and its powers are divided at Union and State level, in some countries even at the local self level. In this system, the central government cannot order the state government to do something. In federal system state government has powers of its own for which it is not answerable to the central government. Both these governments are separately answerable to people.

Federalism is a government in which powers of the government are divided between the central government and the governments of the constituent units of the country. Unitary form of government is a government in which all the powers of government are concentrated into the hands of one central government and all the units are subordinate and under the central government.

Federal form of government
  • There are various levels of government
  • ​power is shared among different level of country
  • different tiers of government govern the same citizen but has its own jurisdiction in specific matters of legislation,taxation and admistration
  • ​higher level of government cannot order lower levels of govt to work according to central govt.

Unitary form
  • All the power is in the hands of central government.
  • There maybe different levels of government but the lower levels of government dont enjoy any powers.
  • No concept of power sharing is there.
  • Central government can dismiss the lower level of government

Big shaq balance of power between the central and state government varies from one position to another this balance depends mainly on the historical context in which the federalism was formed there are two kinds of fruits to which Federation has been formed the first route involved independent States coming together on their own way to form a bigger units so that by pooling sovereignty and retaining identity they can increase their security this is call coming together Federation which is practised in USA .II route is where a large country decide to divide its path between the constituent states and the national govt government India Spain Belgium example of holding together Federation

MAIN DIFFERENCE
Government system of a country can be classified into two types of government. Either it can be a federal government or can be a unitary government. It is important to understand the differences between these two type of government due to different forms of relationships that exists between the center and the units or the states. Federal government is a type of national government in which government have powers to delegates the power to other elected member of the states while unitary government is a kind of government system in which a single power, which is known as the central government, controls the whole government.

1.
In Unitary form of Government All Powers are vested with the single Central Government which is Supreme and Powerful.

In Federal type of government in which one Central government is there for the country and different provincial governments are there. It is a form of Government where power is divided between Government and at different levels


2. In a unitary form of government the central government can pass any order to the state or local governments on any specific issue.

In a federal system of government the central government is not authorised to instruct the state government on any particular issue. State governments are free to work on any issue related to the state according to its will.


3. Countries with unitary form of government: countries like England, Italy, Japan, China, France ,e.t.c have a unitary form of government.

Countries with Federal government: countries like India, USA ,Canada, Australia ,Brazil, Argentina, Russia , e.t.c have a federal type of government.

In a federal form of government, the central government shares its powers with the various constituent units of the country. For example, in India, power is divided between the government at the Centre and the various State governments.
In a unitary form of government, all the power is exercised by only one government. For example, in Sri Lanka, the national government has all the powers.

Unitary system has only one level of government. Whereas federal government has 2 or 3 level(i.e. central government, state government and local government )

Unitary can also have sub units which are subordinate to central. Whereas in federal government, central can't order state government. State government has it's own power and is not answerable to central government. Both are sepeeately answerable to people
