Subsidiary and Proper Role of Government

I define Subsidiary as to give aid or support to those who need it.

In comparisons between our textbook and the CST reading, they are intertwined with one another. In the textbook, it refers to the word devolution, which is "The delegating of powers and programs from the federal to state and local government." The CST reading uses the term subsidiary as "The assistance of one another in bringing out the best outcomes for all people." 

Since there are different levels of government, each have their own role to fulfill that the other can not attribute. The role of the local government is to ensure the public administration of towns, cities, counties and districts. We interact more with our local government than state and federal. There problems that only the local government can address depending on the constituent complaints such as the ordering of more speed bumps in residential areas since the speed of traffic dangers the lives of pedestrians. State and Federal governments draw the line on what we can and can not do. The needs and wants of the people is different from each location, therefore it is essential for local governments to exist.
