In a unitary system, which statement describes the distribution of power?

A central government retains supreme power.

In a unitary system, power is centralized at the national level. The central government holds supreme authority over the entire country, and local governments exist to carry out national laws but derive their powers from the central government and can be changed or removed by it. This setup is different from federal or confederal structures, where some power is kept at regional levels or where regional governments retain more sovereignty.

States retain sovereignty.

A federation of independent nations forms the government.

Local governments hold final authority.
