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.
So that one branch of governments powers would be opposed by the other branches of government. This distribution of power is the checks and balances that are built in the US Constitution.
A system of government not defined by a geographic distribution of power is a unitary system. In a unitary system, power is centralized in a single national government, which holds the authority to create or dissolve local governments. This contrasts with federal systems, where power is divided between national and regional authorities. In a unitary system, local governments primarily execute the directives of the central authority rather than having autonomous powers.
