Do you think giving back power to the states would solve alot of our problems?

It's easier to govern on a smaller scale.

Illinois has different needs then California, so wouldn't be in the best interest to put the power back in the states so they can effectively govern themselves?

I think a huge problem with today's government is that it's to much on a federal level. It's hard to spread recourse's evenly and cater to 50 states highly diverse needs. That is why I think that if the power is given back to the states they will effectively govern.

1. Because they are better educated about there own local problems.

2. All states have there own political philosophy Like Texas and California for example.

3. Making a federal law that suits some states and not the others does nothing but agitate. I don't think People in Texas want to follow the laws that California would follow and vice versa.

4. I think it would be easier for people to be involved in government if it was more state based instead of in "the far away land of D.C."

5. I think States know how to Utilize funds for there state more effectively.

6. I think there should still be a Federal level of Government that deals with interstate commerce, international affairs, border protection.

7. It would be easier for the people to keep there government in check on a state level.

So basically what Im saying is; wouldn't the government be more effective if it went back to the way the constitution laid it out which was a weak federal government and strong state government. We need to go back to being the republic we were instead of a Federal government we are now.

That's how Rome fell right because it lost its republic?
