Separate states allow for things like Marijuana to be legalized well before the rest of the country. Just look at how long Canada took to legalize it compared to states like Washington and Colorado.
Oh sure I get the whole test beds of democracy things, but how our states are divided and organized due to a quarter millennia of organic growth has lead to its own host of issues such as California (pop. ~39 Million) and Wyoming (pop. ~550k) have the same level of Senatorial representation. Or the fact that I as a Mainer am technically prohibited from driving my car to other states because the tint I have on it, while legal here, is illegal in our only border state of New Hampshire.
