While reading this short passage one line stuck out to me, " you should have only the government you need, but also all the government you need". Subsidiarity to me is a notion that is controlled and prevailed by a small organization such as a neighborhood. When thinking of examples that pertain to me I thought of the block club meetings my neighborhood has. This is held on weekly basses so that the community as a whole can deliver there wants a needs without the help of the government beforehand. In the book devolution is stated as a power change from federal to state and local governments. I believe this relies a lot on subsidiarity, with allowing the local government ( neighborhoods and communities) to make executive decisions.
When reading about devolution in Kenya , I saw that a lot of the changes of laws were designed by the local level. These are given to them to cater specifically to the people and give them what they need as individuals. Many things have improved since the devolution and hopefully it can stay that way.
