The type of government formed under the Articles of Confederation was a confederate form of government. Who has the most power in this type of government?

Question

towns and cities

the national government

the states

the United Nations

Answer 1

In a confederate form of government, the most power is held by the states. Under the Articles of Confederation, the central (national) government had very limited authority, and the states retained most of the power and independence. This structure resulted in a weak national government that struggled to effectively govern the country.
