You guys do realize the intent in the beginning was to be a Unified group of individual States, or Countries right? It wasnt until later that we became a Federal Nation...
That would be political chaos. What happens when there is too many discordances?
It will be the cacophony, just like for the EU .
There is always a need to find the right midpoint between too much centralization and full decentralization. The federation is a right trade off and some items would require more harmonization. The drivers license topic is one... what's the real need to have one by state in a world where people travel all over the place?
Laws and attitudes on abortion, gay rights, bankruptcy,smoking, healthcare, guns,marijuana,language spoken, real estate prices, and so many other things are so different from one state to another you really have to do serious research before moving anywhere.
Bankruptcy laws are federal. The only thing that varies by state are statutory lists of exempt property, and the definition of property.
