United States (State Politics)
U.S. state politics involve the governance and policymaking within individual states, each with their own government, laws, and elected officials. State governments typically consist of an executive branch led by a governor, a legislative branch with elected lawmakers, and a judicial system. They manage local issues like education, transportation, and public safety. State politics influence the daily lives of residents and can vary significantly between states due to different priorities and political cultures. While they operate independently, state governments also work within the framework of the U.S. Constitution and federal laws.
