a. Discuss unitary systems, where the power is concentrated with the central government and little or no authority is granted to the component areas.
b. Discuss and advantage and disadvantage of a unitary system. For example, one advantage is that in unitary systems, there are clear lines of authority. Other advantages include uniformity in taxation and educational standards. A disadvantage is that the central government is not always best equipped to deal with localized concerns.
c. Discuss federal systems, where first-order civil divisions have some autonomy, while the central government maintains authority over some areas.
d. Discuss an advantage and disadvantage of the federal system of government. For example, an advantage is that in federal systems, the government closest to the problems often deals with it. However, sometimes there are coordination problems. Local governments may lack resources to deal with problems. Federal systems often have different levels of taxation or educational quality across divisions.
