{"id":3091,"count":1,"description":"Confederation refers to a political entity where several states or groups come together to achieve a common goal or purpose, such as defense or trade. This consolidation is rooted in the belief that unity can bring greater strength and success than individual efforts. Typically, a confederation is formed for mutual benefit, and each member entity maintains a degree of sovereignty while cooperating closely with others. The United States, for example, was originally formed as a confederation of thirteen colonies to ensure mutual support and protection against British rule, and later, to create an economic union to benefit all member states. Hence, a confederation emphasizes equal participation and collaboration among its members for achieving common goals.","link":"https:\/\/www.difference101.com\/tag\/confederation\/","name":"Confederation","slug":"confederation","taxonomy":"post_tag","meta":[],"lang":"en","translations":{"en":3091,"de":3106},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.difference101.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags\/3091"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.difference101.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.difference101.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/taxonomies\/post_tag"}],"wp:post_type":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.difference101.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts?tags=3091"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
