According to the Norwegian political scientist Xyvind Xsterud, the difference between a unitary and a federal state is not that one is more decentralized than the other, but that the former is decentralized through legislation whereas the latter is decentralized by constitution. In a federation, certain matters are thus constitutionally devolved to local units, and the central government cannot unilaterally revoke this decentralization, as it can in a unitary state.
The national government holds all the power in a unitary government, as opposed to a federal systems as seen in the United States where power is fragmented between the federal, state and local levels.
A Unitary government IS the national government. A Unitary governmental system describes a Nation-State that consolidates all political authority in the national government.An example of a Unitary government is the parliament/prime minister of England.
A unitary state is a system of government where most or all of the governing power is held by a single, central government authority. This centralized government typically delegates limited powers to lower levels of government such as states or provinces, but retains the ultimate authority. Examples of unitary states include France and Japan.
By definition, a unitary state is one in which significant and subordinate levels of government, as in federal states, do not exist, so power can either only be concentrated at the central level or via powers given from that government to departments or municipalities.
Even more so in fact. The existence of a single political arm would allow for heavy misuse of the ability to appoint individuals to office. There would not be checks and balances that our government permits to prevent such abuses
The Federal System lies between the unitary and confederal systems of government.

The similarities between unitary and federal states could be that both types of governments could be democracies. A unitary state could be democratic when the people elect the government officials, as is the case in a federal state.
