[QUOTE="soonerwings, post: 1632471, member: 8035"] We're a HUGE nation composed of several regions with different needs and different beliefs as to what the law needs to address. Allowing for states to have their own laws enables people to have the chance to live somewhere that most closely matches their beliefs? Want to be gay and have your marriage recognized? Move to California or Massachusetts. Want property/sales tax but not income tax? Move to Texas. There are more examples but you get the point. Because competition drives innovation. Think of private companies. Apple and Google are constantly competing to bring you the coolest cell phones. The result of this competition benefits the consumers because the finished products are better as a result of this competition. Governments work the same way. If one state finds a super efficient means of deliver services, all the surrounding states can either implement it themselves or come up with something better. Maybe and maybe not. I doubt that states like Indiana are worried about immigration. This being said, if there were one huge problem that needed to be solved, wouldn't you rather have 50 possible solutions examined rather than just one? [/QUOTE]
