It is a government in which all powers held by the government belong to a central agency.
The United States Constitution spells out a number of powers that belong to the Federal government. It also specifies that any powers not given to the Federal government are reserved for the states.
In a unitary system of government, all key powers belong to the central government. This central authority holds the primary decision-making power, and any administrative divisions, such as states or provinces, derive their authority from it. Consequently, local governments may exist, but they operate under the jurisdiction and guidelines set by the central government.
A unitary government is described as a centralized government where all powers belong to a single, central agency. Any administrative divisions exercise only powers that the central government chooses to delegate. Great Britain is a good example.
In the US, the Federal Government is referred to as both a National and Central government, which has shared and separate powers with the 50 States that belong to the US.
Federalism is a concept whereby the powers of a central government are placed in writing in order to make it clear what limits the US federal government has. It also makes it clear that powers not given to the federal government belong to the states of the US to handle for themselves.

Reserved powers belong to the states. Reserved powers are the powers that are not granted to the National Government by the Constitution and they are not denied to the states.
