I LOVE it:

Subsidiarity is an organizing principle that matters ought to be handled by the smallest, lowest or least centralized competent authority.

But apparently there are some loop holes

Subsidiarity is perhaps presently best known as a general principle of European Union law. According to this principle, the EU may only act (i.e. make laws) where action of individual countries is insufficient.

There are more successful implementations of subsidiarity (i.e. America's federal Constitution) and less successful ones (e.g. the EU's current morass).
