What’s on the Levels of Government poster
A 3-row table: Level · Covers · Decides.
Government is split by how far its decisions reach.
- Local — your town or city — parks, bins, local roads, libraries
- State / regional — your state or county — schools, driving licences, state roads
- National — the whole country — money, defence, treaties, post
If a problem crosses a border, it usually moves up a level. That is the whole logic.
