Imo, issues that deal with civil rights should not be left up to the states to decide since civil rights are protected by the Constitution. So what about issues that deal with internet privacy, using drugs, polygamy, abortion, etc.?
What do you think should be a states right issue and why?
Anything that is a privilege. The Feds. shouldn`t control a states allowed privilege. Take driving for example, laws on the road are different accordingly, and laws about the car`s condition to be on the road are different accordingly, same as the persons ability to drive.
There are so many differences and conditions that other States don`t share.
Second, Anything that involves that States best interests. If the Majority of a States residents vote to have say, than that State is bound to protect their best interests, which is how the residents want things.
People votes in California should not impact people votes in NY.
Third, Federal waters. As it is today, the standard for Country`s is 12 miles. That`s fine, but each State should at least be able to police and regulate 2 miles out.
In Ma. the water after 12 miles becomes Canadian. For fishery purposes. Just because Nova Scotia has a Fishing industry, they should not claim or purchase waters off the USA. The Feds. make that deal, not the State, a State should be able to refuse. As far as lakes and ponds or rivers and streams, The EPA should settle it`s issues in that State and not Federal Courts.
