The theory is that state and local legislators know better than a politician in Washington how to represent their constituents. Take the federal speed limits for instance. Awhile back, those laws were rescinded in favor of local and state jurisdiction. How would a Washington hack in the House of Representatives know what the best speed limit is for a rural highway in Junction City, Wyoming if that congressman represents the people of Detroit?

Cogress passed speed restrictions back sometime ago to help with the gas shortage we as a nation faced. I would not be surprised if they did not do it again. The libertarian party thinks that the federal, state and city gov. should be very limited on passing any laws concerning morals. But, they say if a person chooses to shoot up everyday it their problem and goverment will not be there to bail them out.
