I always thought the U.S.A. was an entire confederacy even though we say we are not. Each state has all the same laws, but they choose whether or not to follow them. Such as age limit in california is 14 for retail, while for other states it is 16. Jaywalking too. I find the U.S. to be a confederacy.
We basically are, except for the 27 Amendments and the Constitution. If they weren't as strong as they are, we would be a confederation. That's why we're the United States of America, not A Country of America or whatever we would be.
i suppose u could call it that but each state is unique with different laws and regulations. The only reason why we have the same laws in multiple states is becuase people realized that the laws were benefitting the people and as society discovered better means of communication the laws that were just were solidified among more and more states leading to i guess what you could call a confederacy...though i disagree with that.
It's basically a group of small countries united for defense and economic purposes. Other than those issues, yes, it is a confederacy. Why do you think it's called the United States?
Well you see, the founding fathers wanted to make a united nation >_>. Its still called United Sates because its attractive and well its hard to change a country's name.
A confederacy implies a union of alliance and trade more than one entity. Because each state in the U.S. abides by the U.S. constitution and has joined this entity of the United States, it avoids the idea of a confederacy. Think of a confederacy as something much more lose and less restricting between independent states rather than a cohesive body.

Yeah. According to the history books, things were pretty hectic when we were still a confederacy. Every state had it's own currency, and each form had different values. Trade was nearly impossible, since each area produced different goods. The federal government had almost no control over the budding country. It was a neat experiment, but as we can see, it didn't work.
