not the best thing since sliced bread, but it exists for good or bad and they have made a good job of existing ever since.
lots of compromises happened in order to allow the US to exist, including disenfranchising the native inhabitants and various wars with neighbours and reluctant statelings.

the problem with a federal EU is that their is no tangible benefit to offset the many compromises that its creation would entail.

so we return to my eternal question: why is it necessary?
