What to Focus On

  • Government means the system that rules a country.
  • It comes from the word 'govern' meaning to rule or direct.
  • It includes three organs: Legislature, Executive, and Judiciary.

  • Two main forms: Unitary and Federal.
  • Classification is based on power distribution between central and regional governments.
  • Unitary: Central government holds all power.

  • All powers lie with the central government.
  • Local governments have only those powers given by the center.
  • No constitutional division of powers between center and regions.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

India is a fully federal country like the USA, with equal power between Centre and states.

Unitary government means there are no local or state governments at all.

Federal systems always have dual citizenship — every citizen is a citizen of both the nation and the state.
