The Romans, contrary to federal right, compelled them to part with Sardinia.

2. Consisting in a compact between parties, particularly and chiefly between states or nations founded on alliance by contract or mutual agreement as a federal government, such as that of the United States.
3. Friendly to the constitution of the United States. See the Noun.
