Jelaskan Kerajaan dan politik dari Negeri-negeri Gabungan Amerika dalam bahasa melayu

Perlembagaan Negeri-negeri Gabungan Amerika kebanyakannya sama dengan Perlembagaan Amerika Syarikat. Walaubagaimanpun, terdapat beberapa perbezaan yang penting. Utamanya, hak membeli dan menjual hamba dilindungi, namun perdagangan hamba antarabangsa diharamkan. Perlembagaan ini juga megutamakan falsafah hak negeri. Sejurus ini, kuasa kerajaan pusat dikurangkan. Sebagai contoh, kerajaan pusat dilarang mengutip cukai perlindungan daripada negeri-negeri dalam gabungan. Kerajaan juga tidak dibenarkan menggunakan wang dari suatu negeri untuk membiayai kerajaan di suatu negeri yang lain. Satu lagi adalah perbahasaan dalam perlembagaan, yang menyatakan nama Tuhan beberapa kali serta meminta berkat daripada-Nya.

The constitution did not specifically include a provision allowing states to secede; the Preamble spoke of each state "acting in its sovereign and independent character" but also of the formation of a "permanent federal government". The Southern leaders met in Montgomery, Alabama, to write their constitution.

The President of the Confederate States of America was to be elected to a six-year term and could not be reelected. The only president was Jefferson Davis; the Confederate States of America was defeated by the federal government before he completed his term. One unique power granted to the Confederate president was the ability to subject a bill to a line item veto, a power held by some state governors. The Confederate Congress could overturn either the general or the line item vetoes with the same two-thirds majorities that are required in the U.S. Congress. In addition, appropriations not specifically requested by the executive branch required passage by a two-thirds vote in both houses of Congress.

Printed currency in the forms of bills and stamps was authorized and put into circulation, although by the individual states in the Confederacy's name. The government considered issuing Confederate coinage. Plans, dies and 4 "proofs" were created, but a lack of bullion prevented any public coinage.
