In which of the following systems is the power of the component units more than that of the central government?

In a confederal system, the power of the component units (usually states or provinces) is more than that of the central government. In a confederal system, the component units retain a significant amount of power and authority, while the central government has limited power and is only responsible for a few specific areas, such as defense or foreign affairs. The component units have the power to make their own laws, regulations, and policies, and the central government only has the power to coordinate and oversee the activities of the component units. This is different from other systems, such as a unitary system, where the central government has the most power and authority, or a federal system, where power is shared between the central government and the component units. In a monarchy, the power is concentrated in the hands of a single individual, the monarch. Confederal systems are relatively rare in modern times, as most countries have moved towards more centralized or federal systems of government. Examples of confederations include the European Union and the Confederate States of America during the American Civil War.
