I think that the reason why Federal Government attempted to return domestic policy back to the states is because of efficiency.
It is more efficient to delegate powers to the states to deal with issues and conflicts within the states because state leaders can see firsthand on what these issues are and can immediately propose and act on solutions to resolve these issues.
There are 52 states in the U.S. of A and the Federal Government can only decide on laws that can be good for all.
