which of the following distinguishes a unitary system of government from a federal system of government?
more power is held by independent member states in a unitary system
more power is held by a strong central government in a unitary system.
more power is shared between the national and state governments in a unitary system.
more power is held by the legislative body through political party elections in a unitary system

Explanation:

In a unitary system, power is concentrated in a strong central government. In a federal system, power is divided between the central and state - like entities. Independent member states having more power is not characteristic of a unitary system. Power - sharing between national and state governments is a feature of federal systems. The power held by the legislative body through elections is not what differentiates unitary from federal systems.

Answer:

More power is held by a strong central government in a unitary system.
