<p><b>New page</b></p><div>Larger-scale government has always been seen as advantageous over [[localized government]] for these reasons:<br />
* it is able to act as quickly in dealing with problems on a larger scale<br />
* can achieve goals that are too large or expensive for smaller governments or organizations<br />
* can impose uniform quality [[../standards|standards]] (e.g. food safety, human rights, access to medical services)<br />
==Standards==<br />
The issue of "standards" may be particularly worrisome to individuals of a more liberal bent, who have traditionally turned to the federal government on issues such as:<br />
* safety regulations and other rules enforcing decent working conditions<br />
* preventing bigotry (e.g. racism, [[issuepedia:anti-gay|anti-gay]] sentiments) from being enshrined in local law, and preventing companies and services from following explicitly exclusionary policies<br />
* environmental regulations:<br />
** preventing one region from polluting resources common to more than one region, with the consent of most local individuals<br />
** preventing wealthy and influential interests from polluting resources owned by less-wealthy individuals, with the local government's (purchased) consent<br />
<br />
It should be possible to address most or all of these issues within the framework laid out in [[localizing government]]; this is a TO DO.[[category:to do]]</div>Woozle
