The states still can set the drinking age, incidentally. The feds can just withhold some funds. Ghavrel Send a noteboard - 13/05/2015 02:55:51 AM

But in fairness, the states do have a pretty significant amount of authority. Almost all of private law is determined by the states; that's why states like Louisiana can force me to learn the civil law.


(I actually rather like the civil law, but I feel like I should be allowed to complain about having to take contracts and property twice)
