  • C It is not unitary
  • D The central ad component units or authorities are co-ordinate and equal
  • E There is a division of powers between a central and a division of powers between a central and a number of other component authorities
Correct Answer: Option C
Explanation:
A federal constitution is one in which powers are divided between a central government and component units such as states or regions. It is not unitary because in a unitary system the central government is supreme and the component units are subordinate. The key feature of a federal constitution is that it is not unitary; power is shared rather than concentrated at the centre.
