The only way that I could see that working is if we allowed states to impose tariffs embargoes and on each other. There would need to be some way for states to protect themselves from other states' negative externalities or a race to the bottom.

When there is an externality, of course the federal government can get involved. But does the majority of federal regulation really happen in domains where there would be inevitable externalities without it?

I don't think that the majority of federal regulation necessarily does, but I think that the majority of Americas current problems do.

For example climate change, immigration, poverty, healthcare, and gun control.
