The system set forth in the original government plan of the early United States is an example of a **Confederated** government system. In a confederation, the central authority has limited power and the member states retain a great deal of independence and sovereignty. This was characteristic of the Articles of Confederation, which governed the United States before the current Constitution was adopted.
