Great Britain has a federal system
The constitution of the united state established a unitary system
The constitution establishes a federal system
When the United States was governed by the articles of confederation the United States had a unitary system

Answer 1

The statement that is true is: **The constitution establishes a federal system.**

The United States Constitution created a federal system of government, which divides powers between the national government and the individual states. The other statements are incorrect:

1. **Great Britain has a federal system:** This is false; the United Kingdom has a unitary system, although it has devolved powers to Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland.

2. **The constitution of the united state established a unitary system:** This is false; the U.S. Constitution establishes a federal system.

3. **When the United States was governed by the articles of confederation the United States had a unitary system:** This is also false; under the Articles of Confederation, the U.S. operated as a loose confederation of states, which is not the same as a unitary system.
