The original 13 states (of which SC was one) existed separately as their own countries before they decided to join the US and it's been an ongoing debate how independent each is, which is why we use the Constitution as a guideline. The European Union is basically a variation on the same theme since the economic advantages of such a setup has benefited our country.

And do things like this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kingston_Fossil_Plant_coal_fly_ash_slurry_spill https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kingston_Fossil_Plant_coal_fly... It's not about hiring infallible operators. It's about operating with enough redundancy that humans can be fallible without causing a disaster.
