    This article appeared in the fi rst issue of L’Europe en formation, in March 1960. The author establishes the theoretical distinction between the Federal State and the Confederation of States, which fi nds its source in the place where the power is set up. The Confederation of States is based on a political oligarchic relationship, whereas the Federal State stipulate the rule of law and postulate democracy. Thus, the Confederation of States lies on the sole will of the member states, whereas the Federal State creates a balance between states and peoples, supported by the research of the common will and the judicial control. The superiority of the Federal State stems from the balance of the association, insuring stability and durability.
