Devolution of power for liberty, peace and prosperity around the world
Food for thought! A brief philosophical speculation.
What if all countries of the world were dissolved and only municipal (metro, city, village) "states" existed? Unfortunately, some countries would not go along with this devolution.
Yes, it would need a lot of cooperation and coordination for large projects affecting multiple mini states to be realized.
How fast would these states adopt free trade and free movement of people etc. etc.
Are the hurdles really so large or even insurmountable that these hurdles, among other considerations, justified national states? Perhaps that was true and applied in the past, but current technology makes the prospect of much more federalism more realistic and sustainable!

Die Schweiz – der neue Zentralstaat
Anstatt sich für schweizweit variable Ansätze in Politikgestaltung und Lösungsfindung zu engagieren, gilt zunehmend die Maxime, eine uniforme Politik von Romanshorn bis Genf durchzusetzen. Man scheint zu vergessen, dass Föderalismus Unterschiede – ja mitunter auch Ungleichheit – zulassen soll, damit die Präferenzen der lokalen Bevölkerung besser berücksichtigt werden können. Heute interveniert die Bundespolitik munter in Politikbereiche, die auch verfassungsmässig klar in die Zuständigkeit der Kantone fallen. Damit gehen neben einem Verlust an Vielfältigkeit erhebliche Kostenfolgen für den Staatshaushalt – und die Steuerzahlenden – einher. ..."

The legal definition of marriage in the U.S.
In my opinion, the legal definition of marriage should be left to the individual states and DC.
I am not sure why the Members of the U.S. Congress need to get involved other than to grab more power over We the People's lives! I am not an expert on the U.S. Constitution, but I assume this kind of legislation is actually unconstitutional! I think, this kind of legislation is grand standing for no good purpose!
What if e.g. the citizens of Utah vote for reestablishing polygamy and other questions?
"Forty-seven House Republicans voted Tuesday in support of a Democrat-backed bill to codify same-sex marriage into federal law.
The bill, dubbed the Respect for Marriage Act, passed the House of Representatives 267 to 157. All 220 Democrats voted in favor. Seven Republicans abstained.
The Respect for Marriage Act would formally repeal the 1996 Defense of Marriage Act, which recognized marriage as “only a legal union between one man and one woman as husband and wife.” The 1996 law was effectively invalidated by the Supreme Court’s 2015 ruling in Obergefell v. Hodges, which legalized same-sex marriage nationwide, but it has remained on the books."

Urteil zu EZB-Anleihen: EU will Vertragsverletzung prüfen
Wieder werden wichtige Fragen wie Föderalismus versus Zentralismus, Subsidiaritätsprinzip usw. aufgeworfen! Was kommt nach Brexit?
"Tatsächlich hatte die Kommissionschefin nur wenig Zeit verstreichen lassen, um dem Abgeordneten in einem Schreiben am Samstag zu versichern, dass «das jüngste Urteil des Bundesverfassungsgerichts Fragen aufwirft, die den Kern der europäischen Souveränität berühren». Weil das EU-Recht stets Vorrang vor nationalem Recht habe und die Urteile des Europäischen Gerichtshofes für alle nationalen Gerichte bindend seien, nehme sie «diese Sache sehr ernst», beteuerte von der Leyen."
