Also, please give examples of both + how does a confederation government structure work?

Like let’s say some federal country turned into a confederation, how would the government work?

In a federation/federal state there is a central government that supercedes the different states composing it, eg: the United States or Germany.

In a confederation the different states composing it retain sovereignty, the central power is weaker, eg: European Union.
