Show the answer
Correct answer: Bundesstaat. federal state.
Why?
Article 20 of the Grundgesetz (Basic Law) calls Germany a democratic and social federal state. A confederation is a loose alliance of independent states, and a union of states is a closer association such as the European Union. In a centralised state, all power lies with the central government.
Key term: Bundesstaat = federal state
