A confederation gives all power to the central government, while a federation has no balance of power.
C
A confederation is a strong union between states, while a federation has no balance of power.
D
A confederation is a weak union between states, while a federation has a strong balance of power.

Explanation

A confederation is a loose, relatively weak union in which the member states retain most of their power and the central government has limited authority. In a federation, power is divided between the central government and regional governments, creating a stronger balance of power. Therefore, choice D is correct.
