Unitary - All powers are concentrated in the Central Gov't, States do what the central gov't tells them to do.
Confederate - Central gov't only has powers delegated to it by the states. Each state has power over matters that concern it.
Federal - Central gov't has all powers concerning national affairs such as war. States have power over matters that concern that state.

In a unitary system, there are no sub-national units that have legislative power; all law is national.
In a federal system, there are sub-national units with legislative power, but national law takes precedence (for example, in the U.S., federal law normally takes precedence over state law).
In a confererate system, there are sub-national units with legislative power, and sub-national law normally prevalis (for example, in Switzerland, the national laws are effective only after they are ratified by each canton; if even one canton rejects a law, it does not become effective).
