konföderatsioonis

Konföderatsioonis refers to a confederation, a type of political union. In a confederation, sovereign states delegate certain powers to a central government, but retain ultimate authority. Each member state typically has significant autonomy and can often withdraw from the union. The central government's powers are usually limited, often focusing on areas like defense, foreign policy, or trade agreements between member states. Decisions in a confederation are frequently made by consensus or a supermajority vote of the member states, rather than by a simple majority vote of a central legislature. This contrasts with a federation, where the central government holds more power and the constituent states have less autonomy. Historical examples of confederations include the Confederate States of America and the Swiss Confederation in its early stages. The term emphasizes the alliance of independent entities rather than a single unified state.
