- In a Unitary System, power is held by one central government.
- In Canada and the United States, as federal systems, power is shared or delegated between the central government and the states/provinces.
- In France and the United Kingdom, as unitary systems, power is held by the central government without significant devolution to regional governments.
- The role of government can vary in both systems, so it doesn't complete the table.
- Rule by democracy or monarchy also does not complete the table, as it can apply to both federal and unitary systems.
