I'm a huge fan of local/county/states' rights, the closer to home, the more 
responsive the servants and the more sensitive the rules.

The average American is challenged to understand one set of rules. The 
average American today changes their address every few years, often works, 
plays, lives in different states. There are therefor good arguments for 
nationally standardized rules and only the feds can make and enforce them. 
Lots of obvious and painful drawbacks but I see no viable alternative.
