If the federal government would obey the restrictions placed on it by the US Constitution, then certainly that would reduce the influence they can have on local issues. The US Constitution was actually a very effective design, but it presumed that it would be instituted upon honorable persons placed in office. And it also presumed that "the people" would not allow the government to amass the power over "the people" that has now taken place due to abject complacency and apathy. The problem is that at this late date, it would likely take bloodshed to wrest that control and power from their grasp. A price most people just are not willing to pay because they have been wrapped within a numbing blanket of false security and just don't see the need. And unfortunately quite a few people really believe that they can make substantial improvements via the ballot box. Seriously, look at the choices you are FORCED to make during election day. If you can really call that a "choice"...
