Question

Which statement most accurately describes the relationship between state and local governments? A. States have more power, but the Constitution guarantees that local governments can choose to govern themselves. B. States grant a variety of local governments the power to meet residents' needs. C. States have direct control over most forms of local government. D. Both states and local governments get their power from the federal government through the Constitution.

Answer 1

D. Both state and local governments get their power from the federal government through the Constitution is the correct answer.

But in few cases, states have direct control over the local governments because local governments such as municipalities are dependent on the state government for getting financial assistance.

State and local governments need to follow the constitution, and state governments have much power than local bodies or government.

Answer 2

State governments grant local governments their power but do not tend to interfere with their day-to-day responsibilities...Apex
