Understanding this quote
The quote draws a sharp distinction between forced unity and free cooperation. “Union without freedom” becomes despotism because unity alone can mean rule without consent. By contrast, a “Confederation of the Republics” represents separate republics joining together while keeping their freedom. The ideal is not union at any cost, but union protected by liberty.
