Detailed Solution

A characteristic feature of a unitary form of government is that power is concentrated with the central government. Under the unitary system, there is only one level of government, or the sub-units are subordinate to the central government. The provincial or municipal government may get orders from the federal government. There is no hierarchy of sovereign powers. States have no authority to pass laws independently. The centre is all-powerful. There are few alternatives for change and innovation in the unitary system, as the people have a minimal voice in this government system.
