In which form or system of government is the state or local government final authority

A confederation is a type of government in which the state or local government is the final authority.

The difference between a federation and a confederation, which can be mistaken, is the degree of autonomy that the states and the central government withhold. In a federation, the states and local governments are only partially self-governing, the division of power is divided between the states and the central government. A confederation is association of independent states, in this case, states retain their sovereignty and the right to abolish the central government.
