Abstract:
North Carolina local governments have historically enjoyed less freedom from direct legislative control than local governments do nationally because of the state's extreme reliance on local legislation in the General Assembly. This has caused many problems over the years until the 1969 General Assembly passed the home rule law that granted counties, cities, and towns more authority.
