Government is necessary, but power is dangerous--On issues where it is impossible to decide individually, let us decide at the local level. On issues where that is impractical or inefficient, let us govern ourselves on a State by State basis. Only matters which cannot, by their nature, be handled by the states, are specifically delegated to the federal government. Even though it was created to decide issues internationally and between the States, currently the federal government reaches into nearly every aspect our our personal lives. This should be moved back to the state level in a responsible way.
