The Articles of Confederation (1777- 1787) served as the first written document that established the functions of the national government of the United States after it declared independence from Great Britain. It established a weak central government that mostly, but not entirely, prevented the individual states from conducting their own foreign diplomacy and coining currency. The weak central leadership built into the document caused economic confusion, legislative paralysis, and finally, in 1787, the Constitution of the United States was written and adopted.
I am assuming by level, you mean level of government. There is no distinction between government on a national level and government on a federal level. The federal level of government is the highest tier of government because its central to the nation. It represents a union of states. Those union of states form a nation. So you see how the two terms are interchangable, and can be used synonymously. The federal government is government on a NATIONAL level.
