That made sense in the 1700s when communication was slow and the states ran mostly independently.

It makes no sense in our modern world of connectedness.

It’s only a feature because the framers of the constitution didn’t have the foresight to see a more interconnected world.

And telling people to move is a better counter today than it would have been in the 1700s due to ease of movement and communication.

It does however have everything to do with elections.

I feel like I shouldn't have to move to a different state for my vote to matter.

Telling someone to move because they don’t like their government makes no sense, because you can’t take your land with you.
