State's rights advocates believe that individual states should have the authority to govern themselves and make decisions independently of the federal government. They argue that the U.S. Constitution grants states certain powers and that local governments are better suited to address the needs and preferences of their residents. This perspective often emphasizes the importance of decentralization and limits on federal authority, promoting a more localized approach to governance. Advocates may also see state rights as a means to protect individual liberties and cultural values.
