The issue essentially has been the debating for over 200 years of how much power local residents should have over a city that also serves as the nations capital. This larger question of federalism is also reflected in many subsidiary questions, such as those involving taxation, the power of local officials, zoning, and who is authorized to make decisions on major health issues such abortion, euthanasia, and marijuana.
