A system of government that gives local governments more power than the central government is called a confederation. In a confederation, the central authority is typically weaker, and the individual states or regions retain significant autonomy and decision-making power. This structure allows local governments to manage their own affairs while the central government has limited authority, often handling only specific issues like defense or foreign policy. Examples include the early United States under the Articles of Confederation and the European Union in certain contexts.
