Answer 1

The statement that would most likely come from someone who supported a unitary parliamentary government is: "The legislature of the national government should hold all political power. It should also be responsible for the election of the prime minister."

A unitary parliamentary government is a system of government where power is concentrated in a single national government, and the regional governments or states have only limited powers. Under this system, the national parliament is responsible for making laws and decisions for the entire country. The prime minister is the head of government, and is usually chosen by the parliament from among its members. Therefore, the statement that the national government's legislature should hold all political power and should be responsible for the election of the prime minister is in line with the principles of a unitary parliamentary government.
