Question

h system of government would states function independently of each other? solitary unitary federal confederal

Explanation:

To determine the correct answer, we analyze each option:

• "solitary" is not a recognized system of government in this context.
• In a "unitary" system, power is centralized, and states (or regions) do not function independently.
• In a "federal" system, power is shared between a central government and states, but states are not fully independent.
• In a "confederal" system, states (or member states) retain their sovereignty and function independently, with a weak central government.

Answer:

confederal
