I’m not sure you can generalize federal ignorance about what they are enacting to the states. My experience–admittedly in a low-population state (Montana)–has been that state legislators know what they are voting on and are pretty in touch with the views of their constituents. Also, don’t many states have single-subject rules for legislation?
