POLITICAL MAP OF USA

The United States of America consists of 50 states, 5 territories and 1 district (Washington D.C.). States can make laws about things inside the state, but federal law is usually about things dealing with more than one state or dealing with other countries. In some areas, if the federal government makes laws that say different things from the state laws, people must follow the federal law because the state law is not a law any more. Each of these is like the federal Constitution because they say how each state's government is set up, but some also talk about specific laws.

POLITICS

Each state has a constitution of its own, different from the federal (national) Constitution.

GOVERNMENTThe United States is a federal republic. The federal government of the United States is set up by the Constitution. There are three branches of government. They are the executive branch, the legislative branch, and the judicial branch. State governments work much like the federal government.
