Yeah it didn’t really matter too much how different our states were before mass industrialization but the entire 20th century was basically wrangling the different states into the America we know today. And still we are fighting rogue states that do things like imprison women for miscarriages…
One of our greatest weaknesses currently being exploited is we didn’t really actually solve many of these issues on paper…we just have a common law system and trust the people elected to not stray too far from accepted norms or we’ll end up in court.
Thankfully we have a significantly empowered and fairly independent judiciary but that’s basically the only thing in their way right now besides the states themselves.
So I’m actually fascinated to see what legal solutions you all get to the federalism and army problem because ours is currently being tested to the absolute brink of failure
