Federalism and Unitary are forms of government. The federalism is decentralized by means that the state/local governments stands on its power. It has its own constitution that implemented through its jurisdiction. However, the federal/national has a limited power to his country. It only implemented the general provisions in the constitution. Example of this is the Monetary, Human Rights, Abortion, National Elections, Citizenship etc. While, the Unitary government is centralized by means that the power of the local govenrment emanates from the central government which is the president. It only has one constitution that implemented all over the country. It only fits to a smaller country like Philippines. However, its only up to the president or the prime minister to use such government like these.
