\"\"<\/a><\/em>Democratic World Federalists – What is world federalism? A government system where states\/provinces are subordinate to a central governing body. A centralized global government system where nations would play a subordinate role under a world government, where all officials would be elected to their positions. In this new global government, local problems would be allowed to be solved locally,\u00a0national problems solved nationally, and global problems solved globally.<\/em> Our world federation will be\u00a0built on the principles of democracy, republicism, secularism, and federalism<\/strong>. Together these concepts support a worldwide structure that can tackle today\u2019s most pressing problems.<\/em><\/p>\n
