Detailed Solution

The above statement is true.
In the unitary system, there is only one level of the government, and the subordinate units are accountable to the Central government. In a unitary system, there is no list of distribution of powers in the constitution. But on the other hand, the federal system of governance divides powers between the federal and state governments. A federation has two levels of government- the central government is responsible for the subjects of national importance, and the state or provincial governments are responsible for different states or provinces. These levels are independent of each other. The central government can't control or manipulate the administration of the states.
Thus, in a federal system, the central government cannot order the state government to do something.
