State Governments

State governments are the governing bodies of individual states within a country, responsible for managing local affairs and implementing laws. Each state has its own constitution, legislative body (usually a bicameral legislature), executive branch led by a governor, and judicial system. They have authority over areas like education, transportation, healthcare, and public safety, allowing them to address the unique needs of their populations. State governments operate under the framework of the national government, but they possess substantial powers to legislate and regulate as they see fit within their territory, balancing local and federal interests.
