Abstract
No unit of local government is, by definition, completely self-governing. If it were, it would no longer be a unit of local government but rather a sovereign city-state such as ancient Athens or modem San Marino. Although historically a central government may have developed later than most of the local units now contained therein, legally speaking all units of local government are dependent upon and derive their authority from the central government. In theory the authority of the central government over the local non-representative government units is absolute; however, in practice some of these units may be so remote that the central government has difficulty in exercising its power.
