RE: Adsactly Education - Florida-The Rest of the Story

in #education6 years ago

It's interesting to see the kind of government practised in Florida, of course I knew they'd have an autonomous government but seeing them have a separate judiciary, legislature and executive makes me wonder if the autonomousness isn't too much, wow it's quite a lovely state nonetheless.

Sort:  

The United States was set up as a Union with the states maintaining a high degree of autonomy. The technical reason for the Civil War was states rights (though the actual reason was slavery). Though the governance is almost the same in all 50 states, they still retain a high degree of autonomy. For example, Marijuana is deemed illegal by the federal government but multiple states have legalized it for medical purposes and several have legalized it for recreational use.
