This is why the founders of the US intentionally tried to design the country to severely restrict the power of the federal government &#x2F; allow the states to handle many issues that aren&#x27;t explicitly national matters.  I&#x27;m not talking about things like education or marriage, which you might [i]think[&#x2F;i] should be national issues, but rather things like interstate roads and national defense, which are interstate issues by their very nature.<p>The federal power creep that we&#x27;ve been experiencing for the last several decades has done a lot to create a system that is ripe for abuse.
