1. The difference in the role of citizens in government varies among their systems. The federal system, like the US, is set up to where both the big central state government and the smaller state government both maintain some sort of power. In this system, they also have taxes and rules come from both levels. The confederation system is set up to where each country has its own power, but shares some of it with its other surrounding countries. Citizens tend to follow their own countries’ rules, not so much the big confederation. Lastly, the unitary system is in places like Japan, where they have one big central government in charge of everything. Citizens vote for national leaders who make the rules and taxes they follow. 
  2. Division of power would mean to divide the power (whoever makes the rules and decisions) in a government. Having power being spread out into different levels, assures balance and the low risk of one class overpowering another. 
  3. During the COVID 19 pandemic, there was some assistance given to the citizens by the NY state and local governments. They provided stimulus checks, set strict health guideline measures all around the city, and had strict enforcement on the vaccine. The world really did change overnight, from everyone wearing masks and cautiously standing 6 feet apart to maintain social distancing.
