Dillon's Rule, proposed by John Forrest Dillon, asserts that municipalities are subordinate to state and federal governments. It contends that municipalities only exist with the help of, and with the "permission" of state and federal governments. Many U.S. court decisions have been made using the ideas of Dillon's Rule.

Dillions Rule expresses that local governments are clearly subordinate to the states. Many states have altered or changed this law over time but it still has an impact today.
