The Articles of Confederation, our system of government prior to the adoption of the U.S. Constitution, created a confederation of states. A confederation is a political system with a loose association of states in which the regional governmnents (the states) retain the ultimate power except for the powers that the states give to the national government. The United States operated as a confederation from 1776 to 1787. The Articles also created a uni-cameral legislature with no executive branch and no national judicial system of courts. MrV
The government was very weak under the Articles of Confederation. It had no jurisdiction over the states. It could not levy taxes. It couldn't enforce any laws. Congress lacked effect leadership. There was no national military or court system. Every state had its own money. States could place tariffs on trade with each other.

States are denied certain powers under the Articles of Confederation. States may not send ambassadors to foreign countries, receive foreign ambassadors, or make any kind of arrangement, meeting or treaty with any king, prince or state. No person or state may accept any gift, including titles of nobility, from a foreign state. Neither Congress nor any state can give people noble titles.
No, not usually. Each member state is supposed to maintain its own leadership except in certain important matters such as defense and interstate commerce.
A nation with a confederate government has a political system in which states or regional governments have the ultimate authority except for those powers that are expressly given to a central government. The US was a confederation from 1776 to 1787 under the Articles of Confederation.

Under the Articles of Confederation the United States government had very severe difficulties raising money for defense and essential programs. The national government had fews way to take in money except to ask each state for a portion of their tax revenue. States did not always cooperate with federal demands for money.
Under the Articles of Confederation, Congress was a unicameral body in which each state held one vote. After eight years of a more limited federal government under the Articles, numerous political leaders, such as James Madison and Alexander Hamilton, initiated the Constitutional Convention in 1787, which received the Confederation Congress's permission to "amend the Articles of Confederation". All states except Rhode Island agreed to send delegates.

The US did not have an actual national government under the Articles, which retained the sovereignty of the states and required them to cooperate in practically every aspect. This was always difficult and sometimes impossible. There was no executive except the President of Congress, no standing military, and no unified system of courts. The framers decided that the nation needed a stronger unifying force, and the weaknesses of the Articles had already vexed them for more than 7 years.
