Learn and share what can be done to strengthen self-governance in your community.

The Center for Practical Federalism is dedicated to helping state and community leaders resist federal government overreach that threatens constitutional boundaries and imperils citizen self-governance.

State leaders have substantial authority over how their states engage with federal agencies, but too many of them assume that the federal government can do as it pleases. Raising awareness of a state’s vulnerability, and the practical options available to reduce that vulnerability, is paramount.

If you are concerned about the power of unelected federal officials to make decisions that affect your community, a great first step would be to learn how your state fares on this Scorecard and get this information into the hands of your elected representatives. Encourage them to embrace their responsibility to defend their communities and the Constitution.
