this is somewhat of a gross oversimplificiation. Agreed disappearing is not really possible these days, but there are also philosophical underpinnings about the federal govt being a 'federation of independent states' rather than a distinct authority over-and-above the states, which factors in here, among other things.

There were diverse individual autarchic influences. From the French (as we all know) and the Russians (blending individualism with collective effort). Similarly, the Religious Society of Friends (albeit involving Christ). And ironically, the Iroquois League. Plus the settler vibe.
