GOVERNMENT OF THE USA Standard Grade Modern Studies Syllabus Area 3: Ideologies - USA

DEMOCRACY The USA is a DEMOCRATIC country. It has a FEDERAL system of government. This means that there are THREE levels of government.

LEVELS OF GOVERNMENT 1.FEDERAL GOVERNMENT – Overall government for the whole of America. 2. STATE GOVERNMENT – Each individual state also has its own government. 3. COUNTY/LOCAL GOVERNMENT – Decisions also made by elected representatives in local areas.

FEDERAL GOVERNMENT The Federal level of government is separated into three different branches. The constitution gave each individual branch of government very different powers. This was done deliberately to make sure that no single branch became too powerful or corrupt. This is called the SEPARATION OF POWERS.
