Summary

Calls for: (1) a restoration of American federalism and a decentralization of government power and policymaking from the federal government to states, local communities, neighborhoods, families, and individual citizens; and (2) policy reforms that will allow the states to prove the virtues of federalism and thereby build a new nationwide consensus for decentralizing political power in the United States.
