Why do you think state and local governments have a major role in providing important services? Why doesn't the federal government take on more of this role?

17: In 1940 the Missouri Plan was a system that had involved selection of judges by a group of attorneys, that isn't in the governors jurisdiction.

18: Civilians have expectations of their state and local government, such as police, education, health care, hospitals, welfare programs, etc. The federal government doesn't have as much direct contact as the state and local government would.

19: The Bill of Rights, they had divided governmental powers, and they had a governor and president.

It's generally believed that local government knows the needs of its people better than the federal government.

Oh my !

First check Constitution Amendment 10.
Powers not delegated to the US gov. by the Constitution are reserved to the states or to the people (look up exact wording).
Local governments do not exist in the Constitution but States reserve powers for them.
We are a UNION of States, not an all powerful central government.

Now also think about practical problems. Would you want the government in Washington determining where your next school goes or which road to repair next?
