As defined by the United States Constitution, federalism is a fundamental aspect of American government, whereby the states are not merely regional representatives of the federal government, but are granted independent powers and responsibilities."<br /><br />So doesn't your comment about the states "making their own determinations" make the case for federalism, instead of against it? I realize it would require a drastic reduction in the federal government's size and power, but that is how it was set up to begin with.Scottnoreply@blogger.com
