Federal RelationshipFederal Relationship
Some power lies with the National Unit Some power lies with lower units
Federalism Can transfer additional authority back
to the sub-units but not take power away from the federated governments
![Page 9: PIA 2000](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062517/568138f1550346895da0a660/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Federal Relationship TwoFederal Relationship Two
This is the key Distinction:
1. Lower units cannot break away from the National Unit
2. National Unit cannot take power away from the lower units

Unitary SystemsUnitary Systems
All power ultimately lies at the national level
What power the local level has, is given to it by the national level
The power that the national unit has given to the local level can also be taken away from it
