    Answer: a system in which states agree to form a national government, but maintain their sovereignty.

    A confederation refers to the union of sovereign states for the purposes of defense, economy or some other type of common action. An example is the Confederacy formed in the US from 1861-1865. Although mostly unrecognized, it was formed based on the principles of a Confederation.

    The correct answer is D) the system in which states agree to form a national government, but maintain their sovereignty.

    The description that best defines a confederation is "a system in which states agree to form a national government, but maintain their sovereignty."

    A confederation can be understood as a group of states or countries that join together with the purpose of working and improving their political and economic conditions. The members form an alliance conducive to cooperation but respecting their sovereignty. That was the case of the Confederated States or Souther State during the American Civil War or the Confederate States or Cantons that today form Switzerland.
