A hallmark of unitary governments is the centralization of power, where the national government holds the primary authority and can delegate powers to local governments as it sees fit. In this system, local governments operate under the jurisdiction of the central authority and do not have constitutionally guaranteed autonomy. This contrasts with federal systems, where power is constitutionally divided between national and regional entities.
