Subsidiarity can be defined in many ways. For example, the text defines it as the way the various levels of society should relate to each other and assist one another in bringing about the best outcomes for all people. I don't think this definition should be limited to the society. I would define subsidiarity as different people of different levels and backgrounds should come together to try and find the best solution that benefits everyone. Mine is pretty similar but I didn't want to limit this definition to societies, but also groups since groups are there to benefit others, I felt they should be included in this definition.
Devolution is defined as delegating powers and programs from the federal level to state and local governments. Again, I don't think this definition should be limited to a government idea since this can definitely be applied to groups and organizations. I keep bringing up the groups because I feel groups are mini governments. There are different levels to the groups which are similar to the group levels I feel.
Personally, I feel that subsidiarity is directly related to devolution. The definitions itself states that both terms deal with dividing up the work between different people. Subsidiarity divines up certain relationships between different levels just like devolution divides it up by different levels of government.
