A Confederation is a loose union of states, with a weak central government.

Explanation:

The Confederacy is one of the two forms of political organization of a federal state (the other is the federation, which is the system currently used by the United States).

A Confederation is a union of federal states where they assign certain rights to a superior entity, the Confederate Government, but retaining for themselves the sovereignty rights and the right to nullification: thus, the Confederate states can secede from the Central State, and they can nullify the laws that they consider unjust or unsuitable to be applied in their territories. In this way, the power and capacity to act of the Central State is severely limited by the rights of the states, with which the central government ends up being a weak government and without so much power.
