Answer 1

in a CONFEDERATION, the constituent states get together for certain common purposes but retain ultimate individual authority and can veto major central government actions

'Individual authorities' in this case means that Even though States in a confederation are technically in an alliance, they will act for the interest of their own states. Which means that they have the right to refuse the acts/regulations that came from the central.
