Answer to Question 1

An ideal response would be:
State and local governments make decisions that affect many people's daily livesthey make most of the decisions about how schools are run, where roads and bridges are built, how land is used, and what social services are provided and to whom. They regulate our driving, our occupations, and our families (through marriage and divorce laws, among others). They decide, for the most part, what constitutes criminal behavior and how it should be charged, tried, and punished, and they have custody of more than 91 percent of the nation's nearly 2.4 million prison and jail inmates. State and local governments administer most of our laws and domestic programs, including those funded by the federal government.
