Some Examples of the Federal Government

Powers Divided

Three Branches of Government
Legislative
Judicial
Executive
This Government is Going to Help Keep Everything Balanced and Ordered
State Governments
Each state has their own set of government. These separate governments help to know what each state would really need for their laws. Each state is different, so where one state might need a law that says," No person shall wear a mask or disguise on a public street without a permit from the sheriff." another might not need that law because the people in their states don't wear disguises outside. Not every state needs the same states as you just read, but the national government wouldn't be able to keep up with all the laws every state would need.
Federal Government
The federal government makes decisions for the whole nation. What The congress and president think is best for the nation to survive determines what laws the pass or don't pass.This means that any law they pass has to be followed by every state and every person. One of those laws are to not commit murder. If you break the law then you'll be tried in court and put in jail depending on the verdict.
