What does Home Rule mean?

Home rule is the ability of a local government (such as a city or county) to govern itself and make laws and policies within its jurisdiction without interference from the state government. This type of government is typically considered to be more responsive to the needs and desires of local residents than a government that is controlled by a higher level of government.
