In a confederation, power is primarily distributed among individual member states or provinces, which retain significant autonomy and sovereignty. The central authority, if it exists, typically has limited powers and mainly handles issues that require collective action, such as defense or foreign affairs. This decentralized structure allows member states to govern themselves while collaborating on shared interests, but it can also lead to challenges in decision-making and coordination among the states. Overall, the emphasis is on preserving the independence of each member while promoting cooperation.
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
Hamilton implied that the weakness of the government under the Confederation was because the central government didn't have enough power. He believed too much power was given to the states and that the central government should be able to pass laws.
In a confederation the sovereign states have more power than the central government. Switzerland is an example of a confederation.

False. In a Confederation, more power belongs to the individual, or state, governments.

Switzerland is an example of a country that has a confederation system of government, with power shared between the central government and its cantonal governments.
In a confederation government, power is decentralized and primarily held by individual member states or provinces. The central confederal government has limited authority, with most power residing at the state level. This distribution of power allows member states to retain significant autonomy and sovereignty.
In a confederate system (as in the Articles of Confederation), the states retain most of the governmental power.

Under a confederate system of government much of the power is located in the individual states. The lack of a strong system of central government caused the Articles of Confederation for fail in the United States.
In a unitary system, power is centralized in a single national government, which holds the authority to create and dissolve local governments, often leading to uniform policies across the nation. In contrast, a confederation consists of autonomous states that retain significant power, delegating limited authority to a central government, which often struggles to enforce decisions. A federal government system divides power between national and regional authorities, allowing both levels to have their own responsibilities and powers, fostering a balance that can accommodate regional diversity while maintaining national unity. This distribution affects governance, policy-making, and the relationship between various levels of government.

Federation. Or Confederation.
There is no confederation. It was discarded in 1787.
