It's very important to understand the difference between levels of the government. The three levels of government are local, state, and federal.

Think about it like this. As you move up from local governments to state to federal, power becomes more broad. For example, local governments have specific targets and tasks within a certain area. A local government may deal with villages, towns, etc.

To add, a state government has a wider power range. A state government controls exactly what's in its name - a state.

Lastly, a federal government deals with an entire nation or country, has the most power, and has a more broad power range.

It's important to understand the levels because you can develop a clear thought of how governmental jobs are separated throughout areas. One single federal government is basically built by multiple smaller governments. It just makes it easier to rule, and in turn, easier to live.
