Answer 1

In unitary government systems, ultimate authority resides at the National or central level.

Explanation:

In unitary government systems, all the powers rest with the central government and the states can exercise only such power that is delegated to it by the central government. There are certain powers that are reserved while certain are denied.

Most of the countries follows the unitary system of government. This ensures that the majority of powers are vested with the central government and also that there is a good amount of interaction between the central and the state governments.
