The "Muckrakers" were crusading journalists, authors and photographers who published their work in order to raise awareness on social issues and injustice.

When independence was achieved, the drafters of the Articles of Confederation wanted to avoid this problem. One of their solutions was to give most power of legislation to the states.

Laws can be drafted to reflect this particular reality, instead of designing federal laws that apply to all states, regardless of their particular characteristics.
