most people in the united states interact with three different levels of government. the federal government has national authority, and its laws are supreme when different levels of government contradict one another. so, the federal government can preempt state and local laws if they violate federal laws.
according to the constitution, the federal government shares power with 50 different state governments. these governments have their own constitutions and have powers to address public needs. state legislatures pass laws about issues, and state are responsible for enforcing governments provide services and collect taxes to pay for them.
state governments local governments. there are thousands of local governments in the united states. two of the most common forms are counties and. local governments make their own laws, which are usually called. they also provide their own services, one of the most important of which is public education. local taxes are a main source of revenue for public education.
For the first blank (state legislatures pass laws about... issues), the context is state - level governance. State governments deal with internal matters within the state (as national is federal - level and international is beyond state). So "internal" is appropriate. For the second blank (state... are responsible for enforcing), in state government, "executives" (like governors and their administrative bodies) are responsible for enforcing laws. State governments "share power with" or "relate to" local governments, and the relationship is that state governments "oversee" or "share power with" local governments (the exact term depends on the curriculum, but in US governance, state governments have authority over local governments in a hierarchical - yet - shared way). Local governments' common forms include counties and "cities" (or "municipalities"). Local laws are called "ordinances". Local "property" taxes are a main source of revenue for public education.
