When we think about Federalism, we generally think of the power distribution between the states and the federal government. Professor John McGinnis explains one of the overlooked benefits of federalism - competition between the states themselves. State and local governments have to regulate their policies to benefit their citizens, or the citizens and businesses can opt to relocate to another state with better policies.
Professor John O. McGinnis is the George C. Dix Professor in Constitutional Law at Northwestern University School of Law.
