Lesson Topic
What Is State Government? - Powers, Responsibilities & Challenges
Lesson Outline
The US has 50 state governments. These governments work in tandem with the federal government. Like the federal government, state governments are divided into three branches: the executive, legislative and judicial. Some of the main responsibilities of state governments include: running state police and corrections, administering the state education system, maintaining state properties and facilities. State governments must abide by their state's constitution. State constitutions are regularly amended. The powers and responsibilities of the state government apply only within their own borders, not within those of other states, and do not take precedence over federal law.

Lesson Comments
Today's lesson was remote. Mr. Fatata shared the condition of their beautiful new puppy, Jules, when they got him. I re-sent Bella the Humane society link and the entire printout with other links concerning federal and state laws for the treatment of animals. It has many links ranging from, Steps to Follow to make a complaint, Complaint Forms, Spreadsheet on the minimum laws puppy mills and breeders must abide by in all 50 states. It looks like Kansas (where Jules came from) has pretty light punishments for those who don't employ a standard of care in breeding animals. Mr. Fatata knows I sent this to them, too. The good news is that Mr. Fatata says he thinks Jules is improving.
