The Constitution was designed to create a strong central government that united the individual states and provided uniform laws and policies. 

There are things that should be centralized (like one currency), but there should be limits and it should be relatively stable because the big things - things you need a strong central govt for - change very slowly if at all.

But, sure, you get gray areas when you leave social programs up to states, which might result in a state exporting it's poverty.  Or you don't have uniform regulations, and then a state might be exporting its pollution.
