Question

Which of the following are important characteristics of a unitary form of government?

• C. The absence of subsidiary sovereign governments
• D. Existence of dual-polity

Answer 1

Answer: (B), (C)

The correct options are
B The supremacy of the central government
C The absence of subsidiary sovereign governments

The unitary form of government has two important characteristics, i.e. the supremacy of the Central Polity and the absence of subsidiary sovereign polities. Thus, unlike the federal form of government, it doesn't have dual-polity or dual judicial system.
