Local
governments
are administrative offices that are smaller than a
state.
The term is used to contrast with offices at
nation-state
level, which are referred to as the
central government,
national government,
or (where appropriate)
federal government.

National government
is the
United States
governmental
body that governs
individual states
established by the
Constitution.
The federal government has three branches: the
legislative,
executive,
and
judicial.
Through a system of
separation of powers
or "checks and balances," each of these branches has some authority to act on
its own, some authority to regulate the other two branches, and has some of its
own authority, in turn, regulated by the other branches. In addition, the powers
of the federal government as a whole are limited by the Constitution, which
leaves a great deal of authority to the individual states. -
