Why aren't rights absolute
kirza4 [7]
<span>The Right to Free Speech does not allow you to yell "Fire" in a movie theater. When they start conflicting with the rights of others, they aren't absolute. As another example, the right to religion does not allow you to marry 13 year old girls even if it is your religion. There are limits on all of the rights enshrined in the Bill of Rights, but when they are limited, they are subject to strict scrutiny by the courts. </span>

<em>A Confederation is a system in which states agree to form a national government but maintain its sovereignty. </em>

In political terms, a Confederation is considered a union of states but maintaining its own soverignty. The United States formed a Federation in 1789, to unify even more the states, something that other states did not like and mostly the Southern states maintained the concept of Confederation. The Federation was based on the idea of a common government for all the states, meanwhile, in a Confederation, the common element was the autonomy in each of the states.
