Why are states called "laboratories of democracy"? States are not bound by constitutions to a particular way of doing things, so they experiment.

The federal government experiments with policies by ordering the states to try them first.

The term comes from the nineteenth century, when state politics were more scientific than the machine politics of cities.

Most new social policy ideas are tried by one or two states before being adopted by other states or by the federal government.
