1. Customs Union. No internal tariffs or other trade barriers.
2. Shared military. Good for all of us and international peace.
3. Shared foreign policy. There is not that much of a partisan divide on this, or rather the extremes on the left and right are not overwhelming to the middle.
4. Allow states to pass their own laws (abortion, gun laws, state taxation, reparations).
What we could call it? Federalism?
We might even have someone draft a document to be approved by the states that outline what powers specifically are delegated to the federal government and which are retained by the states or the people, as well as a basis for amending the agreement. We could call that contract -- what, a Constitution?
