One Majority to Rule Them All | The Libertarian Institute
Jeb Smith notes the benefits of decentralized political institutions, arguing that centralized authority is almost always detrimental to individual rights.
“Once power becomes centralized in the majority at the federal level they make super PACs with powerful interest groups. Money and power are transferred between these groups as they increasingly stack the deck in their favor and advertise to the voters they are vital to maintain. [...]
Centralized democracy claims to be for the commoner but is the opposite. The federal is the highest; it dictates to the states, who dictate to the towns and counties, who dictate to the powerless individual.”
