Re: Should states or regions of a country standardize their laws?


Is corruption equal everywhere ? Are cultures equal everywhere ? Are climates identical everywhere ?

I there was still a USSR, should the USA align to their laws or vice-versa ?

"Should" is not the right word to use, I believe. And if it was possible, wouldn't it mean a uniform world with a single unique culture ?

I understand you mentioned states and regions but overall, we could simplify those as cultures/nations belonging to a larger state due to history.

Would you consider Québec to be of French culture ? Anglo-saxon culture ?Canadian culture ? What about its indian people ? Are all Canadian provinces equally Canadian ?

In the end, legal-wise, it's a matter of: centralization or decentralization ? Then cultures and history decide how much of each force is applied (and they are not constant over time, just like people are not consistent over time).

The Austro-Hungarian empire was a mess.
