U.S. Government Explained Ep. 05 - State & Local Governments: How Power Works Close to Home
Description
In this episode of US Government Explained, we take a clear, accessible look at state and local governments—the levels of government that most directly affect daily life in the United States.
We explore how state governments are organized, their constitutions, their responsibilities, and how they raise money. We also look at counties, cities, towns, and school boards, explaining what each level does and how these powers can differ from state to state.
Finally, we examine how all these layers of government work together, and how they share power with the federal government and with each other.
A great introduction for English learners, new residents, and anyone curious about how America’s government actually functions on the ground.
