        The whole state's rights thing is one of the things I would change if I could redo the constitution right now. It creates so much confusion, needless - pmb Aug 11, 15:35 10
        
        Though can you think of a federal constitution that does this? In Australia, the federal powers are specified and anything else goes to the states. - Roger More Aug 11, 15:48 6
        
        You don't need separate states to test things out. I think states rights does far more harm than good. Playing by different rules depending where - pmb Aug 11, 15:56 5

        tax breaks = economy boost and jobs - Strongbad Aug 11, 16:52
        
        Certainly the way taxation works in Australia - only the federal government levies taxes and makes large transfers to the states - smooths over a lot - Roger More Aug 11, 16:04

        The problem with this is that inevitably, there is going to be 1 state where this results in a loss of a minority represented, likely race - Strongbad Aug 11, 15:03
