The advantages of unitary government are it is single and decisive legislative.

Usually it is more
efficient in the used of tax dollars but fewer people trying to get in on the money. It is also has a
simple management of an economy and the government are smaller. 

Another advantage of a unitary government is that the laws of the unitary system, unlike in a
federation, are uniform because laws are made only by a single central government for the whole
state. See the list of advantages below:

 In a unitary state, citizens only owe their allegiance to the central government. This
could promote national unity. All laws, particularly fundamental civil rights and
the welfare state, are more or less universal. This promotes national unity.
 The unitary system is good for countries that are geographically smaller in size.
Simplifies proportional representation, since no region can claim even a limited
sovereignty to demand being represented as a district.
 A unitary republic is more easily governed. You can make laws that affect pretty
much anything and once the main parliament approves them, that’s it. The central
government is strong (but more power leads to corruption). Theoretically you also
have a smaller public sector (but that’s not the case in real life).
 There are no other levels of government that need to be funded by the state which makes
it less expensive.
 The unitary system is more likely to engender harmony among the various ethnic groups
in the country leading to internal stability.
 The unitary system allows for quick decision-making.
 The central government is directly responsible for the entire development of the country
which makes development more likely to be even and uniform

1. It creates less confusion over the governing process for the average citizen.
In the United States, the average person is subject to the laws of four different co-equal
governing bodies simultaneously. If you decide to travel to a different town in a neighboring
county, then you’re still subject to your own local laws in some situations, while also being
required to follow what is expected in that other community. You’re also bound by the different
state laws – if you buy legal recreational marijuana in Washington State, you can’t take it to a
location where it is illegal to have it in your possession.
The advantage of the unitary government is that this confusion disappears. Instead of having
multiple layers of bureaucracy to navigate, you have a clear set of expectations to follow. That
may provide some inconvenience at times, but it can also reduce the risk of an unknown
violation of the law.

2. This government structure can respond quickly to emergency situations.

The structure of the unitary government means that every decision is made by the central
governing body. This process saves time during an emergency situation because there are not
multiple layers of bureaucracy to navigate so that resources can get to where they need to go.
Whenever an unexpected situation arises, whether it is from a natural disaster or a declaration of
war, the government can respond with better accuracy and more speed domestically or overseas
because one decision instead of four or more needs to be made.
3. Unitary governments are usually cheaper to run.
Because you are not contending with multiple layers of bureaucracy under the unitary style, there
are fewer administrative costs to manage with this centralized government. It provides a smaller
structure to the overall state of the nation, potentially reducing the tax burden on households
without creating a reduction in the access to services that they require. This efficiency makes it
possible to create stronger safety nets for those who are out of work for an extended time or have
disabilities which keep them out of the labor force.
4. It is a smaller form of government.
Local services are still a priority for a unitary form of government. The only difference is how
communities are able to access this resource. Instead of working with local governing officials,
the centralized state will send a delegate to oversee the needs of each community. That is how
France structures it’s form of government.
There are almost 1,000 local political subdivisions that they call “Departments” in the country.
Each one is headed by and administrative prefect who was appointed into the position from the
central government. Each regional department exists to implement the directives that the central
government issues on a regular basis.

5. There is less complexity in the legal system of a unitary government.

In the United States, the constitution specifically reserved some of the powers of governing to
the federal government. Other powers are then granted to the collective states, while a handful of
responsibilities are shared by both. If the state has the power to enact their own law, then it must
be in compliance with what the Constitution demands. The distribution of power is often a
source of debate because disputes over the rights of each state can arise, requiring the judicial
system to step in to sour things out. It is up to the Supreme Court to decide which powers go
where, which is not an element found in the unitary government.
6. A unitary system of governing can replicate federated states.
Although the unitary government is centralized and makes decisions through authoritarian
processes more often than not, this structure can be designed in such a way that it replicates the
style of a federated state. Instead of a local government, a unitary system will place a delegate,
ambassador, or someone in a similar position to administer local resources. People can speak to
the officials at their local office to voice their concerns about local matters. Then the state
representatives can communicate these issues to the governing body to ensure that enough
attention is given to the problem.
7. Unitarian governments work to create a system of unity.
The whole purpose of a correctly-structure unitary government is to create common ground.
Instead of dividing a person’s loyalties between the state and the national government, everyone
is placed in a position where they work to support one another. There are no overlapping
districts, issues with gerrymandering, or political polarization because everything operates
through the central system. Even when there are multiple elections held each year to sort out
national representation, the results are a direct reflection of the diversity found in society.
Working with a federate system, especially one with only two parties, creates more of a system
of compromise instead.
