Confederation Central < Regional

• Voluntary alliance of independent regional authorities that often assign only a few powers to the central authority

• Regional authorities come together for a specific purpose (ex. trade, security)

• Regional authorities agree to certain limits to their freedom of action, but still keep considerable independence

Page 32: What do you think about when think about the word GOVERNMENT ?

Confederation cont.• Individual states make their own

laws & decisions and are loosely connected to a weak central government

• The central government is only concerned about defense and trade

• Less binding than a federation
