We find a simple sufficient criterion on a pair of nonnegative weight functions
$V(x)$
 and
$W(x) $
 on a Carnot group
$\mathbb{G},$
 so that the general weighted
$L^{p}$
 Hardy type inequality
$\begin{equation*}\int_{\mathbb{G}}V\left( x\right) \left\vert \nabla _{\mathbb{G}}\phi \left(x\right) \right\vert ^{p}dx\geq \int_{\mathbb{G}}W\left( x\right) \left\vert\phi \left( x\right) \right\vert ^{p}dx\end{equation*}$
is valid for any
$φ ∈ C_{0}^{∞ }(\mathbb{G})$
 and
$p>1.$
 It is worth noting here that our unifying method may be readily used both to recover most of the previously known weighted Hardy and Heisenberg-Pauli-Weyl type inequalities as well as to construct other new inequalities with an explicit best constant on
$\mathbb{G}.$
 We also present some new results on two-weight
$L^{p}$
 Hardy type inequalities with remainder terms on a bounded domain
$Ω$
 in
$\mathbb{G}$
 via a differential inequality.
Keywords: Carnot groups, weighted Hardy inequality, Heisenberg-Pauli-Weyl inequality, two-weight Hardy inequality.
