  • The Relationship Between the Three Tiers of Government – Federal, State, and Local Government

In a federation, the three tiers of government, Federal, State, and Local, work independently but concurrently. They work hand in hand, all for the smooth running of the federation.

Their relationship includes: 

1. Power to Legislate:

Each tier has legislative power on issues within its jurisdiction. For instance, the federal government has two legislative houses. The Senate and the House of Representatives.

These two chambers make laws at the centre.

Laws made for the federal government are binding on the whole federation, that is state and local governments inclusive.
