No we really didn't.
And we have it ass backwards.
Local government should be where most of your taxes go because that is the point of government service delivery.
The federal government was never intended to micromanage the states as it now does.
Services are done at the level that makes the most sense
My local government plows the roads in front of my home and provides schools and some public services such as police and fire
My state provides universities and public highways and welfare
Federal provides the military, a monetary system, social security, postal system
