Answer 1

1. Country A is using a unitary system of government.
2. The evidence for my answer is that the country has a strong central government and the 45 states rely on the central government for money and support. This indicates that there is a central authority that holds most of the power and makes decisions for the entire country. The fact that the legislative branch can make laws also suggests a centralized system where the authority to legislate rests with the central government.
