I really like your answer to number 7. I especially think it is important for state to have autonomy because each state has local issue that only apply to their boundaries. For example, water usage is something a state should control.

For your response for number 7, I would consider how easy it is for a state legislature to respond to local issues vs the time it would take for the National government to respond to something that is effecting the state level. It easier for a state to monitor issues and allocate the necessary measures in their own government. But if a bill was presented to the national level it may take months or years for Congress to move a piece of legislature through each house and move it to the President's desk. There's more politics the higher we go in our government.
