Question

Identify which countries and which features are more commonly associated with unitary states and which are more commonly associated with federal states.

Answer 1

Countries with unitary states are France and People's Republic of China

Countries with federal state is Mexico and India

Unitary and Federal states

France and China are typically seen as countries with a central government that has the most power over smaller parts of the country.

Mexico and India both have federal governments, which means that they share power between the central government and smaller parts of the country.

This allows the smaller parts to have some freedom and make decisions on their own within certain limits.
