Question 3 • CMS 2026-2027 Founding Principles of the US and NC: Civic Literacy CREDIT RECOVERY

Which of these statements about counties is true?

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