Produktbeschreibung

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! State governments in the United States are those governments formed in each U.S. state. Structured in accordance with state law (including state constitutions and state statutes), most state governments are modeled on the federal system, with three branches of government?executive, legislative, and judicial. Under the Tenth Amendment to the United States Constitution, all governmental powers not granted to the federal government by the Constitution are reserved for the states or to the people. The governments of the 13 colonies that formed the original union under the Constitution trace their history back to the royal charters which established them during the year of colonialism. Most other states were organized as federal territories or parts of other states before forming their governments and requesting admittance into the union. Notable exceptions are California, Vermont, Texas and Hawaii, which were sovereign nations before joining the union.
