Strong statement. Got any proof of that?
All governments get their power from the people who they serve. As soon as they do not serve the interests of the people the represent they should be dissolved. Local government gets its power from the local people and no one else.
- Retric 3y ago> Got any proof of that? Most obviously their form and powers vary based on the state. Several hundred years of court cases make there limits clear. Local governments regularly get overridden on all kinds of things. Local governments are also completely dependent on outside help for all kinds of things. It’s common for them to even lack local police forces let alone a court system. Outliers like major cities seem extremely powerful, but for the most part they have similar powers to HOA’s. PS: As to getting authority from the governed… Some let people outside the area vote, and a few that give corporations a say.
