The form of government in which the United States employed under the Articles of Confederation, in which states held the majority of government power, is best described as a confederation.

Explanation:

In political science, the confederation is an association of sovereign states, usually created by means of treaties, but which may eventually adopt a common constitution. The main distinction between a confederation and a federation is that, in the Confederation, the constituent states do not abandon their sovereignty (powers of self-defense and self-regulation), whereas, in the Federation, sovereignty is transferred to the Federal State. Confederations are often set up to deal with crucial issues such as defense, foreign affairs, international trade and monetary union.
