Democracy.
Many political scientists and historians claim that the US Constitution has served as a model for many new governments that were established from the early part of the twentieth century onwards. This does not infer that all new governments are republics like the United States. What has happened is that the rights of citizens guaranteed in the US Constitution, such as freedom of speech, became part of the government structures that were parliamentary in structure, as well as those governments that are republics.
State governments have some powers that the federal government does not have.
A blend of the old greek and roman governments.

The 1997 Census of Government says it best... "There were 87,504 governmental units in the United States as of June 1997.

Of these, 39,044 are general purpose local governments - 3,043 county governments and 36,001 subcounty general purpose governments, including 13,726 school distict governments and 34,683 special district governments."

How are governments classified? How does the U.S. government fit into these classifications?
Yes
There is no 'US local government'. There are thousands of local governments contained in the U.S.A?
In addition to the US Federal Government and the 50 state governments, there are county, city and town governments in every state. So the total number of governments in the US can be counted in the thousands.
Local governments get their power from the state government.

The Founding Fathers of the US and later the Framers of the US Constitution looked at the structure of the ancient Roman Republic as a model for their idea of the new US republic. Flawed as it was, the Roman Republic had what can be termed a government structure where power was shared. The US Constitution created a central government where powers are shared. It has been said that the US republic was the first one after ancient Rome's republic.
I'm assuming you mean all the levels of government. If that's the case, there is the Federal Government, state governments, and local government. The specific type of local government varies by state, but covers things like county and city governments.
State governments have some powers that the federal government does not have.
a good government and nation and people
