In two-pages, discuss whether or not you believe that in the 21st century Washington should have greater power to dictate national policy. Should the federal government be able to override state policies? If you were to amend the Constitution, would you entrust greater powers to Washington DC and less power to the states? Why or why not? Are state and local governments fundamentally equipped to handle the current public policy challenges of today, or do they lack the expertise to adequately address concerns and issues that may have national implications?
