It may not happen now, but at least more people will be aware of that idea and possibility.
There's no reason Texas should tell California what to do or vice versa, or New York tell Alabama what to do etc.
Why is one guy elected president over 300+million people? Why don't people question the absurdity? Washington DC governs California. Why?
I think you really do make a lot of sense. the united states is more like a continent, look at Canada, separate provinces. and why should 9 people [the supreme court] interpret laws to 320 million. giving states more rights would be a good start, if states vote to legalize pot, the government should let them alone. not send in feds to bust people. one day it will all come to a head, and the federal government will have to bend to the states. remember the states make the government. and together the states can break the government.
You are correct. What I always try to get across to people is that, the less power the Feds and the president have, the less hysterical people would have to be when someone you don't like gets into office. There's nobody that will please the overwhelming majority of the people. Different cultures, different educational backgrounds, different life experiences, different occupations, and difference biases.
State and city government's do bad things too but it's easier to leave a city or state than the country. It is also easier to influence your local government than the Federal government. The more power is centralized, the less power to the individual.
When half the country always feels threatened when the opposite party gains power at the federal level, it's time to question the system.
