Question

the diagram below illustrates two systems of government. how do these two systems of government differ? a. states exercise no power in the unitary system

Explanation:

In a unitary system, the national government has the supreme power and can delegate power to state - level governments. In a confederal system, state governments have more power and the national government is weaker, deriving power from the states. Option A is incorrect as states do have some power in a unitary system.

Answer:

(No options were fully provided in the question. Based on the analysis above, any option that correctly describes the power - distribution difference between unitary and confederal systems, such as "In a unitary system, the national government has more power than state governments; in a confederal system, state governments have more power than the national government" would be correct.)
