Presentation transcript:

NC Legislative Branch: The General Assembly & Local Governments Essential Question: Why do different levels of government and different geographic areas make and enforce laws differently?

NC General Assembly Passes laws (called statutes) for the state. Also performs oversight, and can impeach elected officials. NC Senate: 50 members - Must be 25 years old and 2 year citizen of NC NC House of Representatives: 120 members - Must be 21 years old and 1 year NC resident The state is divided into 120 House districts and 50 Senate districts. Sessions: when legislators are working in Raleigh - “Long Session”: in odd years, members meet from Jan-July - “Short Session”: in even years, members meet from May-Aug

Municipalities Municipalities: cities, towns, and villages Provide services that are necessary for people living close together. Ex: street lights, water and sewer service, trash pick up. Incorporated by the General Assembly: the General Assembly approves the geographic boundaries and charter of the city. A charter is a written document outlining the government of a municipality. It is like a city’s constitution.

Municipalities continued… Government in Municipalities: - Municipalities are governed by an elected council called either the city/town council, board of commissioners, or board of aldermen. - This council makes laws for the municipality. These laws are called ordinances. - The council is led by a mayor who may be appointed by the council itself or elected by the citizens. - The board hires a city manager to run the day to day activities of the municipality and enforce the ordinances. The city manager is the Chief Executive of the municipality

NC Counties There are exactly 100 counties in NC. Counties carry out the statutes passed by the General Assembly. They also provide services like public libraries. Government in counties: - Run by an elected board of county commissioners. They oversee elections, alcohol distribution, and schools in the county. - Each county has a Local Education Authority (LEA), aka School Board. The school board operates the public schools in a county. - The citizens of the county also elect a sheriff who is in charge of law enforcement in the county.
