Local Government — Quiz

Question 2 • United States History

Which of these statements about counties is true?

Answer
A
The federal constitution determines the structure of a county government.
B
In most states, each individual county has its own government.
C
Counties determine state laws, and towns determine local laws.
D
Several states may make up one county and share the same government.

Explanation

In most states, each county has its own local government, which provides services and carries out state laws within that county. County governments are not structured by the federal Constitution; their organization is generally set by state law. So the true statement is “In most states, each individual county has its own government.”
