home rule
Regional self-determination granted
Home rule is the principle that a region, city, or territory should govern its own internal affairs rather than be controlled by a distant central authority.
The term appears in discussions of local government autonomy and historical independence movements: The city operates under home rule, setting its own tax rates.
Irish home rule was a major political issue in the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
