Systems of Government- How power is distributed within the countries. Federal- a system of government where power is shared between a central government and states. Political leaders are elected by the people through voting. Parliamentary- a system of government where power lies with the legislative body and the leader of the country is part of the legislature. Citizens choose which political party is in power and then that party chooses who the leader is. Unitary- a system of government where almost all power is located with the central government Confederal- (also called a confederation) a system of government where power is located with the independent states and there is little power in the central government.
