Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A unitary system is one where the power is concentrated in a central government, which has authority over all smaller units. This is in contrast to a federal system, where power is distributed between a central government and smaller units (such as states or provinces).  Bureaucratic and competitive refer more to the way a government is run rather than the concentration of power. An anarchic system would have no central government at all.
