Advantages: FLEXIBILITY: it is easy to change and so can adapt to changing society and times DEMOCRATIC RULE: The constitution, if changed, is done so by democratically elected bodies, therefore such change is done so because of pressure by the people of the country. EFFECTIVE GOVERNMENT; Strong and effective governments are created as they are able to act as they want to better the country without being restricted by old, archaic rules. HISTORY AND TRADITION: unwritten constituions have evolved over time and gained historical authority. They have been tested and proved to be effective so all rules and laws can be trusted. Disadvantages: UNCERTAINTY: it is difficult to know exactly what the constitution says and laws are often ambiguous and unclear. It can seem as if it is made up as we go along. ELECTIVE Dictatorship: if the Constitution is easily changed it could rise to the problem that democratically elected governments gain power and change the constitution to meet their needs and so form a dictatorship. WEAK PROTECTION OF RIGHTS: there is nothing forcing the government into protecting individual rights and freedoms, they theoretically can do as they please. Differences: In written constituions, the constitution is found on one single authoritative document. It is the highest law of the land and judiciable - all political bodies are subject to the law adn no one is above it. This is unlike unwritten constitutions.
The main differences: * Under the Unitary system, either there is only one level of govt., or the sub-units are subordinate to the central govt. In Federal states, there are 2 or more than 2 levels of govt. and all the levels enjoy their Powers independent of the other. * The Central Govt. under Unitary state can pass on orders to the provincial or local govts. But in a Federal state, the center cannot order the state govt. to do something. * In a Unitary state, The Center, as a matter of fact, has all the power, unlike the Federation , where Power Sharing takes place and is a very important, or rather, an indispensible feature.

Federal systems often allow for greater regional autonomy and diversity in governance compared to unitary systems.
