Article of confederation which was 13 independent states perhaps too independent
I think states imposed trade restrictions or tariffs on other states to prevent accidentally interstate commerce
Don’t conflate decentralized with democracy. 1776 was not about democracy. Jefferson studied Athens and Ancient Greece. His vision of a democratic society consisting of the yeoman farmer was not shared by John Adams or Hamilton

It depends on how he's using "democracy". Institutions are considered more "democratic" when more people have input. It doesn't have to mean everyone votes on everything.
