if it became an unitary government then there's would be no states to start with. There will one central focus of power in the United State, most likely Washington, DC. All the powers that government have will be focused on the federal level.

that's just the basic of this topic. there's many controversial issues as to if this kind of government is better than the current government in the US.

What is a good example of unitary system of government?

An example of unitary is system of government is the United Kingdom. Actually, not anymore. The UK is more of a federal system with a weak state government. A better example is France, which has a very strong unitary system, with a powerful central government, and regional governments which are directly responsible to the national government.


Does a unitary system of government give states the most power?

No, a unitary system of government is centralized and usually presented as a counterpart to federalism. Unitary countries utilize a strong national government that holds complete authority over local governments, and devolves/reserves powers at will.This is in contrast to federations (countries that operate under federalist systems) where the national government works in tandem with local governments, and both retain explicitly reserved powers that neither can infringe upon. In the US, states maintain significance influence on internal affairs under this system, a privilege they would be unable to enjoy if the US were a unitary country.Current examples of unitary countries include the United Kingdom, France, and China. Examples of federations include the United States, Russia, and (according to some) the European Union as a political entity.
