What is another word for home rule?
Pronunciation: [hˈə͡ʊm ɹˈuːl] (IPA) 
The term "home rule" is often synonymous with local self-government or decentralized powers. Other alternative terms for home rule include devolution, autonomy, self-rule, self-determination, independence, and sovereignty. Devolution often implies the transfer of powers from a central authority to subnational units, while autonomy refers to the ability of a region or group to make its own decisions. Self-rule and self-determination emphasize the ability of a community to control its own affairs and chart its own course. Independence and sovereignty connote complete autonomy and sovereignty for a particular region or government entity. All of these terms boil down to the same idea: allowing people to have a greater say in their own governance.
