When it comes to voting, taxes, environmental regulations, social services, education, criminal justice, political parties, property rights, gun control, marriage and divorce and just about anything else other than national defense, the state in which you reside makes a difference. That idea--that states matter--is the fundamental concept explored in this book, and has been an essential truth to America's governing philosophy since the Colonial Era.
