Three Levels of Government
There
are three different levels of government in the United States: local, state and
federal. Each level of government has its own elected officials who have specific jobs to do. Adult American citizens
have a voice in all three levels of government. Their voice is their vote.
Local
government is the level closest to the community. People in the neighborhood
elect a mayor and city council
members. Town meetings allow the people to bring their concerns to their
elected leaders. The mayor and city council members pass laws. The laws affect
the city and the people who live there.
State
government is in charge of writing and enforcing laws for all the people within
one state. The people of the state elect a governor and representatives who
handle business for the state. Special state departments handle issues for the
state. They protect the health and safety of state citizens.
The
federal government is in charge of writing and enforcing laws for the people in
the United States. The people of the United States elect a president, senators and representatives. These
officials handle business that affects the whole country. The federal level of
government is able to do some things the other levels cannot. It can print
money. It can negotiate with other countries. It can declare war on another
country.
Each
level of government has specific officials and duties. The people entrust their power to their leaders.
It is their responsibility to protect the interests
and safety of the people.
