konföderációként

The term "konföderációként" is the Hungarian word for "as a confederation." A confederation is a type of political organization in which sovereign states delegate certain powers to a central government, but retain ultimate sovereignty. This arrangement is distinct from a federation, where the constituent states also grant sovereignty to the central government. In a confederation, the member states are generally free to withdraw from the union, and the central authority's powers are often limited to specific areas like defense or foreign policy. Historically, confederations have been less common and often less stable than federations, as the strong emphasis on state sovereignty can lead to internal divisions and a lack of cohesive action. Examples of entities that have operated as confederations include the Confederate States of America and the early United States under the Articles of Confederation. The concept of a confederation emphasizes the autonomy of its member states, making the central governing body subordinate to them rather than co-equal. This structure allows for cooperation on shared interests while preserving the independence of each constituent entity.
