Unbiased University: Local vs. State vs. Federal Government: Who Has What Power?

from UNBIASED Politics · host Jordan Berman

In this episode of UNBIASED Politics, we break down the three levels of government in the United States: federal, state, and local. What powers belong to each level, how do their responsibilities differ, and how do these layers of government interact with one another? We walk through the structure and authority of the federal government, the role of state governments within the constitutional system, and the wide range of responsibilities handled at the local level, from counties to cities and school districts. Along the way, we explain how powers are divided, where authority overlaps, and how policies often require coordination across multiple levels of government. ⁠Watch⁠ this episode on YouTube.
