Instructions
Play through this interactive game to learn about State & Local Government. Suitable for Grade 5, Grade 6, Grade 7, Grade 8.
Main Concepts
The effectiveness of state and local government can shape public trust because these institutions often handle the issues closest to people’s daily lives.
Conflicts can arise when state or local policies appear to conflict with federal law or constitutional principles.
Different states organize local government in different ways, which can affect how policies are made and services are delivered.
Citizens often experience government most directly through the actions and services of state and local institutions.
State and local governments interact with the national government through cooperation, funding, and policy implementation.
Local governments make decisions about community needs, budgets, ordinances, zoning, and public services.
State and local governments provide many public services that directly affect daily life, including education, policing, transportation, sanitation, and public safety.
Local governments take forms such as counties, municipalities, townships, and school districts, and their structures vary by state.
Local governments receive their authority from state governments rather than directly from the U.S. Constitution.
State governments operate within the federal system and exercise powers that are reserved to the states.
