Detailed explanation-1: -In a confederal system of government, the state or regional government has all the powers under them. This shows that the member-state in the confederation is more powerful than that of the central system of government.
Detailed explanation-2: -The Articles created a loose confederation of sovereign states and a weak central government, leaving most of the power with the state governments. The need for a stronger Federal government soon became apparent and eventually led to the Constitutional Convention in 1787.
Detailed explanation-3: -Confederal System Weak or loose organization of states agrees to follow a powerful central government. Nations can choose to follow or not follow the lead of the weak central government. Examples: The Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS), formerly known as the Soviet Union.
