AP US Government
Unit 1 – Foundations of American Democracy
Topic 1.8
How might American political culture be affected if citizens chose more local control over public matters instead of centralized control?
The influence of the central government over public matters would still be greater than that of local governments.
There may be increased identification with local politics causing fragmented national identity due to divergent policies between regions.
Public policy decisions will uniformly apply country-wide despite originating from local governments.
Local control would lead to a more unified national identity due to increased citizen participation.
