> Why should everything be federalized? Generally most policies are good or bad regardless of where you live. If a policy is good it should be wnavted nationwide so to benifit all citizens. More specifically this has to do with government oversight. When local and state government overstep and violate people's rights and act in an authoritarian fashion the federal government should step in and fix things > There is no article in the constitution which mandates (or permits) federal supervision of state powers (such as the police power). You're incorrect. The Supreme Court has found that federal supervision of police powers is constitutional so it is. As it should be. > The fact that voters fail to hold their lower-level governments to account does not mean that all power (and failure) should be centralized. The fact that voters fail hold their lower-level governments to account and in fact may be unable or don't wish to is an incredibly powerful argument for the need of a centralized solution. The same now as during the civil rights era
