classification by how power is distributed
In a totalitarian government, the dictator (often called a tyrant) has total power. He/She has the highest authority in the government. In a monarchy, it is Parliament that has highest authority. Yes, the King or Queen answers to someone else. In a republic and/or democracy, the politicians listen to the people of the country, and the senate or congress has the highest authority. I know what you are thinking, "But the president has the highest, that is why he/she is president." Trust me, the president has to listen to Congress. Congress can veto a president's veto, which mean that it has higher authority in the government. In an anarchy, no one has power. It's just mass chaos and disorder.
Classification by how much power is distributed.
Powers can be distributed evenly, unfairly, or just plain in the middle. Federal is not an unlimited supply of whatever your heart desires. You have rules and regulations that keep you from being in trouble with the government. Unitary is a central authority. There is no power distributed whatsoever. i.e. Socialism, Communists, and Totalitarian governments. Confederation is a blunt government. It is similar to an Anarchy government. There really is no government.
