Question

What types of

laws does the
federal
government
make, and how
are they different
from the laws
that local and
state
governments
make?

Answer 1

State laws affect the citizens and property in that state only. State laws may not conflict with federal laws. Local governments, also called municipalities, include counties, parishes, cities, towns, and so on. Local governments may pass laws that are not reserved by the federal government or the state.
