If a group of states federate, they join together on purpose to make one larger body, a federation. They do not melt into one pile: they keep their own names and some of their own rules, and they agree to share a centre. It is a formal, political verb — you meet it in history more than in chat. Small states have federated to become a bigger country. Clubs and unions can federate too, under one umbrella group, though that use is less common. The same spelling can be an adjective (a federate state, meaning one that belongs to the federation), but here we mean the joining.
組成聯邦、結成聯邦
組成From Latin, related to foedus, a treaty or league: groups bind themselves by agreement. The -ate ending here makes a verb, “to join in that way.”

A member of a federation.
- But I do not admit that there is an opportunity for such a choice (whatever Baldus and Romanus may do) against one of two federates to the advantage of the other. 'If he cannot aid one without injury to the other, it is better not to help the one than to do harm to the other', as the words of Ambrose run; and that is the sense of the law and the rule which rates the avoidance of harm above the consideration of gain. What if, in order to benefit one federate, it is necessary to wrong the other doubly ? If two brothers who are lords of a feudal subject wage war upon each other, the vassal is bound to aid neither of them, since they mutually oppose each other, says Baldus. And allies mutually interfere with one another, as happens in other cases, which Romanus notes.
