Checks & balances
Separation of power/checks and balances Rights of the national, state, and local government Rights of USA citizens
The three principles of government—separation of powers, checks and balances, and federalism—are crucial for citizens today as they ensure that no single entity holds absolute power, promoting accountability and fairness. Separation of powers divides government responsibilities among different branches, preventing tyranny. Checks and balances allow each branch to limit the powers of the others, safeguarding individual rights. Federalism distributes authority between national and state governments, enabling local governance that can address specific community needs while adhering to national standards.
Mexico is not unlimited. An unlimited government is a non-constitutional government, where the government does not have effective controls over the power of its rulers. Mexico has a constitution -- the latest version been in existence since 1917 -- and its government is a federal constitutional presidential republic, with all the "checks and balances" required between the three Powers of the Union (executive, legislative and judiciary). Now, Mexico is a developing country, with weak institutions as one of its greatest challenges to overcome. This means that although these checks and balances are in place, some rulers (i.e. state governors and local officials) abuse their power and often enrich themselves through illicit means and/or influence peddling. This undermines the effectiveness of the constitution, but the government is actually trying to prevent it.

Levels of government refer to the different layers of authority within a political system, such as federal, state, and local governments, each with distinct responsibilities and powers. In contrast, branches of government refer to the divisions within a level of government, typically including the executive, legislative, and judicial branches, which serve to separate powers and provide checks and balances. Essentially, levels of government denote the hierarchy of governance, while branches of government focus on the functional structure within that hierarchy.
The four major classifications of government are autocracy, oligarchy, democracy, and monarchy. In the context of the U.S. government, it is primarily a constitutional republic, a form of democracy where officials are elected to represent the people. Subdivisions include federal, state, and local governments, each with its own set of powers and responsibilities. Additionally, the U.S. operates under a system of checks and balances among the executive, legislative, and judicial branches.
The structure between levels of government is typically hierarchical, consisting of federal, state, and local levels, each with distinct powers and responsibilities. Federal government handles national issues, state governments manage regional concerns, and local governments address community-specific needs. This system allows for a division of powers and responsibilities, promoting efficiency and accountability. Additionally, there is often a system of checks and balances to prevent any one level from becoming too powerful.
