A similarity is the role of the executive branch is primarily to ensure the law is properly executed, and a difference is that the executive branch at the state level does not help prepare the budget.
At all levels of government—national, state, and local—the executive branch primarily focuses on executing and enforcing the law. This shared responsibility involves implementing laws, overseeing government agencies, and ensuring the administration of policies.
But a great difference exists regarding budgetary functions. While the national and most local executive branches are typically involved in budget preparation and implementation, some state executive branches might not directly partake in the budgeting process.
