Autonomism (political doctrine)

Autonomism is a political doctrine that says that a group of people (like a country or a specific area within a country) should have the right to make their own decisions and govern themselves with few outside influences. This means that instead of being told what to do and having laws made for them by people in other areas, the people in the autonomous area are allowed to make decisions and laws that they feel are best for them. This way, they can have more control over their lives and not have to worry about someone else telling them what to do.
