Answer: The confederal system of government place more powers on the state and local government.
Explanation:
The federal system of government is a system of government where power is shared between the central government and the federation unit or States. In which each level of government enjoy autonomy. In a federal system of government, power is categorized into three main issues which are exclusive list, concurrent list,and residual list. The issues in the exclusive list is preserved only for the federal government, while the issues in the concurrent list is preserved only for federal, state,and local government to legislate upon.While issues in the residual list are issues that may not be found in the concurrent list which the federal government can legislate upon.
On the other hand, a confederal system of government can be defined simply as a variation of the federal system of government in which there is an agreement for the component unit to secede or pull apart in case the union cannot hold together. Under a confederal system of government central government does not enjoy the loyalty of the citizens, in the sense that, loyalty of the citizens to the government is at the state or local government level.
Furthermore, it is a weak system of government in which the state had more powers than the central government. In the sense that, minerals and financial resources is controlled by the state and local government. However, they only contribute money to fund the central government.
The meaning of this quote "A leader is best when people barely know he exists; when his work is done, his aim fulfilled, they will say; we did it ourselves" means if the leader is unknown to many people once he has finished or achieved a remarkable goal other people (such as Laozi) can steal the glory and be remembered for something they didn't do.
