Accepted Answer

A major demerit of a unitary system is the lack of regional autonomy, as power is centralized in the national government, leaving little room for local or regional decision-making.

Question 2

Uniformity of administration is a feature of countries with &#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;. System.&#10;A)federal System&#10;B)confederal system&#10;C)parliamentary system&#10;D)unitary

Accepted Answer

Uniformity of administration is a characteristic feature of countries with a unitary system of government. In a unitary system, the central government holds the primary authority, and any administrative divisions (subnational units) exercise only powers that the central government chooses to delegate. This centralization leads to a more uniform administration across the country, as opposed to a federal system where different states or regions may have significant autonomy and thus, different policies and administrative practices.

The Latin word 'foedus' translates to 'treaty' or 'agreement', which is the basis for the term federation, indicating a union or alliance formed by such treaties or agreements.

Question 7

Which is not an essential feature of federation&#10;A)supremacy of the constitution&#10;B)independent judiciary&#10;C)distribution of powers between centre and states&#10;D)single citizenship

Accepted Answer

Federations typically allow for multiple levels of citizenship (e.g., state and federal in the USA), but single citizenship is not a requirement for a federation. Essential features of a federation include the supremacy of the constitution, an independent judiciary, and a clear distribution of powers between different levels of government.
