ABSTRACT: Corruption and financial issues at the local level led to the disenfranchisement of the people and high levels of concern at the state and federal level. Something had to be done to help curb these issues on a grand scale in the United States. This decision gave birth to what is now known as Dillon's Rule, which essentially results in a narrowing of power of governments at the local level. This rule is generally used when trying to decide and interpret whether a local government has any expressed powers in a given situation. This rule is strictly and narrowly defined, and if there is any reasonable doubt at all about whether the authority has been expressly given to a locality through the state, then the authority of that locality in that given situation is not recognized. Every state in the union has some element of Dillon's Rule in its conceptual framework, but many states have implemented different versions of "home rule" initiatives that may allow some of the states' local governments to oversee and manage certain aspects of governance that are not expressly prohibited by the laws of the state. Given the fact that Dillon's Rule was strictly a reaction to corrupt entities of the 1800's this paper attempts to examine whether or not it's still relevant even today or whether it should largely be reformed and or abolished.
