Federalism Unlocks Pathway to Flourishing Societies, Empowering Individuals to Thrive
Federalism helps society discover the best rights for people to thrive by creating a competition between states. This process allows individuals to find states with rights that suit them and society to compare the effects of different rights. Competitive federalism is shown to be better than judicial decisions in creating freedoms related to sexual autonomy. The goal is to maximize freedoms without causing harm to other social goods, like family life and friendships. It's challenging to distinguish between liberty and license because the consequences of freedoms and restrictions in society are complex and hard to predict.
