Unitary, Confederation, & Federal

 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.

 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

 Distribution of power refers to how power is divided, shared, or dominated over by certain parts of a government  Who has the power?  The king? The people? Representatives of the people? The president?  There are Three types of Power Distribution

 Unitary  Confederation  Federal

 Unitary- government in which the power is held by one central authority.

1. All decision making = CENTRAL GOVERNMENT 2. Decisions flow from central/national government to towns, cities, counties, and local entities. 3. There is a uniformity in the decisions and they apply equally across the country.

Examples: › Saudi Arabia › United Kingdom (U.K.) › Sweden › Spain › Former Soviet Union

Central has ALL power State Governments

 Confederation- Voluntary associations of independent states that, to secure some common purpose, agree to certain limitations to their freedom.  In other words, state/countries are all independent, but get together for the benefit of all of them once and a while Flag of the European Union

1. All decision making/power = STATES 2. States make decisions, central government can only do what states allow it to do

Independent states voluntarily work together for some common purpose and agree to certain limits on their freedom of action as a confederation. Examples: -OPEC -League of Arab States -European Union
