First, the differences.
1. The political system is different.
The U.S. federal republic is a federal republic, while the German federal republic is a federal congressional republic.
2. The composition of the federation is different.
The U.S. Commonwealth consists of Washington, D.C., 50 states, and many other overseas territories, with Washington as its capital. The German Confederation consists of 16 federal states, with Berlin as its capital.
3. The time for the implementation of the federal trillions system is different.
The U.S. Confederation was established as a federal state in 1787 through the U.S. Constitution. In 1990, the Democratic Republic of Germany (GDR) officially joined the Federal Republic of Germany as the Federal Republic of Germany.
Second, the similarities.
1. From the perspective of the state structure and form, they all belong to the composite system.
2. Federal countries have their own constitutions and laws, the status of the federation is higher than that of the constituent units, all major powers belong to the federation, the federal law is the highest law of the country, and the laws of the states shall not contradict it.
3. Both the American Federation and the German Federal Republic are unitary states composed of several member units (republics, states, states, etc.).

Confederation federalism time.
1781-1788.
1788 – Present.
The concept refers to a loose alliance of states formed by a number of sovereign independent states to achieve a common purpose (e.g., military, **, etc.). Confederation is not an independent sovereign state.
A system in which two or more independent States are united for a specific purpose.
The basis is treaty-based.
Based on the Constitution.
Possession of rights. The Confederation itself is not an independent sovereign state, it does not have a unified constitutional and legal system, state organs, army, taxes, budgets, etc., each member state retains its own independent and complete national sovereignty, the federation and its constituent units have their own constitutional and legal systems, and have their own systems of state organs (including legislature, executive and judicial organs), and are not subordinate to each other, and carry out activities within the scope of their respective rights, such as the federation has its own supreme court, Its constituent units also have their own Supreme Court.
Civil rights. Citizens have only the nationality of the country to which they belong, and citizens have dual citizenship, both as citizens of constituent units and as citizens of the Federation.
Main organs. Meetings composed of representatives of Member States or regularly attended by Heads of State and ** of Member States
Federal resolutions must be ratified by the Member States before they can enter into force.
The Diplomatic Confederation is not the subject of nationality law and is not allowed to interact with foreign countries.
In terms of foreign relations, the federation is the subject of international law in foreign exchanges, while the constituent units of the federation generally do not have the qualifications to be the subjects of foreign exchanges.
Federalism and confederation are the two forms of composite state structure. What confederation and federalism have in common is that they are both associations between sovereign states, the difference is that confederation does not form new states, whereas federations form new states. Under the confederation system, the member states that make up the confederation are still states with complete independent sovereignty, while under the federal system, the constituent units of the federation no longer fully possess the elements of independent sovereign states.

Pro, the United States is not federal, it is the United States of America.

To date, the unitary system remains the most common form in the world. This system has only one power, i.e., the state or the state. Although democracy can flourish under both federalism and unitary, there are significant and substantial differences between the two forms of democracy.
For example, the United Kingdom is a unitary**. The British Parliament has the final say on everything that happens in the UK. Even if Parliament were to decentralise local affairs, it would still be possible to order any town or county in England to do what Parliament thinks it should do; The council can even abolish or change the boundaries of any town or county if it so wishes.

Because the 13 states of North America were independent and not subordinate to each other.
-
At the beginning of the establishment of the United States, it was a confederation system, and later it became more and more dispersed, and the states did not obey the command of the **, so they changed to a federal system.

Is high school history now starting to think about these questions?
1) Long before the founding of the United States, Britain adopted a policy of divide and rule for the thirteen colonies in North America, with each state as an independent whole. >>>More
