Question $32$

What is one implication of the state having a unitary system of government with respect to local governments?

Local governments are bound by state laws and are entities of the state, which determines the extent of power granted to them.

State governments have lost a considerable amount of their authority over local governments, which often are at odds politically with statewide officials.

State and local governments operate in conjunction with each other, and when disagreements arise, local laws are upheld because the local government is seen as being closer to the people.

State governments generally retain all power and do not allow local governments to determine their own local budgets or adopt their own charters.
