Thistext examines specific cases where states and cities are ahead of the federal government in providing solutions to social problems. States and cities are sometimes ahead of the federal government in providing solutions to social problems. The federal bureaucracy often prefers no change to change. Congress is sometimes paralyzed by party and ideological differences resulting in stagnation.
