Why do we have governments? They are organized ways for creating laws/rules designed to protect the well-being of the general public and to help manage conflict. They determine the power structure (who has the power) within a country. In some countries, only one person or party maintains centralized control of the government, while in other countries power is shared between individuals and factions.

Why do we have governments? All countries require governments to function. Governments provide laws, structure, public services, and national defense. There are different types of governments: Democracies Republics Monarchies Dictatorships

Unitary - One central government controls weaker states Unitary - One central government controls weaker states. Power is not shared between states, counties, or provinces. Confederation - A weak or loose organization of states that agree to follow a central government. Each state makes its own laws and the central government is only concerned about defense and trade. Federal - Power is shared by a powerful central government and states or provinces that have self-rule, usually through their own legislatures.

Unitary Government Unitary - a system in which the power is held by one central authority. All power is given to the one branch of government. Examples: France United Kingdom Sweden Spain Former Soviet Union Unitary Video

Confederation Confederation - A form of government based on a voluntary agreement under which separate countries work together. Independent states voluntarily work together for some common purpose and agree to certain limits on their freedom of action as a confederation. Examples: European Union Articles of Confederation Confederation Video

Federal Government Federal - Power is shared by a powerful central government and the state or local governments. States or provinces are given considerable self rule, usually through their own legislatures. Examples: United States Russian Federation Germany
