the constitution does not give powers directly to local governments. instead, state governments give up some of their power to local governments. local governments come in many different forms, such as counties, cities, towns, and school districts. local governments can hold elections, provide public services, pass local laws, and collect taxes. but their power is limited and only applies within the local area. residents of a local government must still pay taxes to the state government and obey state laws. use the information above to complete the text. local governments are the lowest level of government in the united states. most states have hundreds or even thousands of different local governments, including counties and towns. for instance, the city of wichita, kansas, is a local government. the state of kansas gave wichita power to elect its own officials, mak constitution collect its own taxes. residents of wichita residents of th state of kansas o, wichita residents must pay taxes to the kansas government and obey its laws.
The text explains that local governments in the US get power from state governments. As per the first paragraph, "state governments give up some of their power to local governments". So, the state gives power to local (like Wichita). Also, "Residents of a local government must still pay taxes to the state government and obey state laws", so Wichita residents (who are also Kansas residents) must pay taxes to Kansas.
