They want what the US has. Each state has their own laws for things like traffic and healthcare, and the federal government is supposed to deal with issues that affect multiple or every state, like common defence and interstate commerce.

The US is a bunch of murican states glued together.
The EU is a bunch of very different countries glued together.
We are not the same.

I donโ€™t know if you are American, but the states are very different, economically and culturally. You can lump them together to form regions but they are essentially a few little countries stitched together.
