Now that all of you have completed Chapter 4, I hope you can start thinking about this question. Do reply your answers whenever you are free :)

What are the strengths and/or limitations (weaknesses) of a unitary government and a feudal government?

unitary government is where there is a single system of adminstration, law money and measurement.while feudal government is some people were given lands and limited authorityby the ruler in return for their loyalty and support.i felt that unitary government is better than feudal government because in the feudal government there might be disloyal people who wanted to rule the more area, which might end up with wars everyday.

Most nations of the world can be described as having unitary governments. They are said to hold centralized power over subordinate units, such as cities or states. Many such nations formerly were monarchies that ruled all of their individual and collective units. Some of them evolved into democracies, while retaining centralized control of governance.
During the past two centuries, a number of nations revolutionized their governments into more democratic forms. It has been reported that 45 or so had decentralized their governments into federal systems during that period. Of those about 27 broke apart or became entirely centralized or unitary governments.

Unitary systems are marked by the embodiment of all governmental authority in a single, central government.Unitary systems are most distinguished by a central government that possesses all governmental authority.

Feudalism requires qualifiers because there is no broadly accepted agreement of what it means. For one to begin to understand feudalism, a working definition is desirable and the definition described in this article is the most senior and classic definition still subscribed to by many historians.

I felt that both of the system have their own strength.unitary is where a single system of adminstration.As feudal system would lead to peace and would also lead to chaos it is only depend how is the ruler .

a fuedual goverment is strong as the villagers and the king have good relationship.but the villagers must give the king loyalty and support or they will not get to rule their land,while a unitary is a authority that has a type of local authority that has a single tier and is responsible for all local government functions within its area or performs additional functions which elsewhere in the relevant country are usually performed by national government or a higher level of sub-national government.

Unitary government is the central government possesses much authority and decision-making power.

In a Federal government, power is split between a central government authority. Usually a law allocates duties, rights, and privileges to each level of government.

The United States is one of the few nations that does not have a unitary government. In ousting colonial England, 13 states first formed a simple confederation of loosely linked sovereign states but quickly rejected it in favor of a federal system. That is, the national government has only those powers which its citizens have authorized in their constitution or through the legal actions of their elected representatives. Moreover, the constitution created divided political processes involving separation of powers, checks and balances, a bill of rights, and other features of federalism.
