Note for the day after tomorrow: we could expand the Tenth Amendment and Constitutional separation of powers and states and give states or regions the right to become ethnostates. The Founding Fathers believed that nullification was the "moderate middle ground," and not the road to secession---a state can void federal laws.
We could adapt our Constitutional separation of powers and states to deeper sociobiological knowledge of human nature and give states and regions the right to become ethnostates. In reality human nature is genetically kin-centered and ethnic-centered, even xenophobic, as well as being genetically gender defined, age-graded, heterosexual, marriage-making, hierarchical, and religious-making, with group-selection and ethnic selection as the primary unit of successful selection, followed by individual selection.
If real kin and ethnic-centered human nature is allowed to be what it is, it naturally leads to regionalism, localism, general conservative values, eventually ethnostates, and finally an ethnopluralism of ethnostates, which would need to be protected from marauding imperialists, supremacists, and global money grubbers, with a defensive federalism.
With an ethnopluralism of ethnostates we could be culturally and politically healthy and ready for the coming centuries. Europe could do the same, and Russia and China too, otherwise we will have constant internal strife between naturally competing ethnic groups added to the usual external problems between countries. It won't be perfect but it's the best we can do.
