The federal system of government in which power is divided between a central authority and a number of regions with delimited self-governing authority. This is a system of government practiced in countries such as United States, Canada, and Switzerland.

The unitary system of government, concentrates power in a single body, rather than sharing it with more local bodies. This system is practiced in a country as France.

Answer 2

Answer:

Federal - Unitary.

Explanation:

There are many differences between a Federal State and a Unitary state. The federal state (or federation) is a union between states or provinces that have their own government. The prime example is the United States of America. Every state has their own government, they have a division of power between them and the central government, which unites them all. So, in other words, a federal state has a central government but also divides their power between provinces or states who are self-managed by their own government.

On the other hand, the Unitary type of state is the opposite: this kind of state is ruled by the central government which is supreme. Their decisions, be it politica, social or administrative, apply for the whole region they rule. An example is the French government, like the exercise suggests.
