A unitary government is described as a centralized government where all powers belong to a single, central agency. Any administrative divisions exercise only powers that the central government chooses to delegate. Great Britain is a good example.
So that one branch of governments powers would be opposed by the other branches of government. This distribution of power is the checks and balances that are built in the US Constitution.
federalism
The separation and distribution of the power of the government among the three branches of the national government.
The national government is a sovereign government. It has broadly defined powers when it acts in relation to any of the lawful ends of government. Also, it is understood that issues related to state and local governments are beyond the reach of the central government.
Distribution of power among different organs of the government is known as horizontal distribution of power. It allows different organs of government, which are placed at the same level to exercise different powers.

Montesquieu
Division of Powers- Basic principle of federalism and constitutional provisions by which governmental powers are divided on a geographic basis (in the U.S. between the National Government and the States).
Alexander Hamilton
Delegated powers, like enumerated powers, are specific powers granted to the federal government in the US Constitution. Both sets of powers are clearly defined and limited in scope, providing a framework for the division of powers between the federal government and the states. This division helps to prevent the concentration of power in any one branch of government.
horizontal distribution helps the country to take decisions easily and wisely and also reduces the social conflicts and distributes the powers although the organs of the country are autonomy in making decisions but still the government has all rights to question the organs of the country. If a citizen of India feels a power is being misused he has all rights to question the government with all require evidences, then the government will take an action regarding that particular power and take a decision on it. These are the benefits of the horizontal distribution of powers.
