In case you didn't notice, our country is quite large. We also have many different cultures here. The Northeast is very different from the Midwest in how they want to do things, and the West Coast and the South are different as well.

The most successful countries in Europe are small. The most troubled countries in Europe are the large ones. That should tell you that increased centralization is a bad idea.

As much local independence as possible sure, but only when it comes to laws that are actually depending on local conditions, wich most state laws are not. Neither are the court and prison systems.

When you travel from one American state to another you dont know your rights or when you are breaking the law, unless you want to read the constitution and lawbooks for every state you enter. I would personally find that werry disturbing!
