You are assuming this is unintentional. Giving bureaucrats and criminals working with them power through incompetence of the central government ... forgive me for doubting that this was a design feature. It redivides the power between individuals and the state, including criminals working with (small parts of) the state. I believe anyone who can get a majority of 1.3 billion people to vote for him did not miss this.
I mean what's with the "Caesar can do no wrong" attitude on this site ?
States are evil. The best possible case is that they might be, at times, the lesser evil.
