Question

Explain the division and working of the different levels of the government

Answer 1

In the form of an autonomous Legislature, Judiciary and Administration, three levels of government are there to regulate one another so that no one can become autocratic and despotic.

• 1. There are three distinct levels of government in the U.S.: the federal government, state governments and local governments.
• 2. The Constitution, the U.S. government's basic legal authority, grants the federal government the authority to execute such duties and transfers all other powers to the state governments.
• 3. State governments each create and delegate those powers to local governments within their jurisdiction.
• 4. Each government level has three divisions: the legislative , the executive and the judicial branches
• National Government – The federal government (our national government) supports our national defence, conducts external relations in our country and tackles a range of domestic or global problems that neither state nor local governments can cope effectively with such as air pollution, intergovernmental trade and pirates.
• State Government – The U.S. consists of 50 states, the Columbia district, Puerto Rico, Guam, U.S. Samoa and the Virgin Islands territories. In 1978 the Northern Mariana Islands Self-Governing Commonwealth concluded a constitutional union agreement with the United States of America, which was granted U.S. citizenship to the people of that commonwealth in 1986.
• Local Governments – Local governments range from populations of fewer than ten to populations of more than ten million. They have much of the same services, including teachers, police, firefighters, leisure centers, libraries, and local public works such as roads and sewage treatment stations.
