The state governments are perfectly capable of deciding for themselves. Maybe if Thomas Jefferson could return from the grave.... | Pertaining to federalism and the Articles of Confederation, the good that the Anti-Federalists stood for was almost as obvious. if too much power was diverted to the Federal government, a centralized system would soon grow and take control of the country. the principle of State Soverignty is important, for every state is different and a law applying to California may not work for New Jersey.
