Question 3

A unitary system has a strong central government that can unilaterally change local governance. A confederal system has weak central power, a federal system has shared power between central and local, and democratic system is about governance by people, not structure. So abolishing local school boards (central control) fits unitary.

The US has a federal system with shared power between federal and state governments. France, Japan, UK have unitary systems with strong central governance.

A confederation is an alliance of independent states, where states retain sovereignty and central power is weak. Branch offices, corporate entities, or military generals don't define a confederation.

Answer:

a) Unitary system
