Define "subsidiarity" in your own words. How is the concept of subsidiarity as discussed in today's reading related to "devolution" as described in your textbook?
A community that supports subsidiarity in their government will agree with having most of the power at the local levels. This community would highly respect organizations that are formed by the people because they are the ones who are more aware of the necessities of their own communities. Although they support power at the lowest level, they are aware that a larger government is necessary to make real changes. This idea relates closely to devolution because power is trickled down from highest government level to lower levels of government. The ultimate of the government is that the needs of local communities are met.
