The Federal Reserve System is composed of a central Board of Governors in Washington, D.C., twelve regional Federal Reserve Banks located in major cities throughout the nation, numerous member banks and other entities (see below). Ben Bernanke serves as the Chairman of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve.\n\nThe Federal Reserve System was created in 1913 by the Federal Reserve Act. It includes a system of eight to twelve regional reserve banks, owned by its commercial member banks and supervised by the Federal Reserve Board. The board and its chairman are appointed by the president and approved by the Senate.\n\nIt was created by congross in 1913 by the federal reserve act.\n\nAs stated its owned by the commercial bank members.

Yes there is.  The Army National Guard is state run, the governor of the state is in charge of them.  The reserves are federally run and fall under the president of the US.

No.  Because it wouldn't work.   First of all the Secret Service is under the treasury's authority.  Each agency has their own duties.  FBI is responsible for investigations, The Marshal Service responsible for convicts, fugitives, and federal court security.  Postal Inspectors work directly for the post offfice, dealing only with mail fraud.\n\nJust due to the different things each agency is responsible for it would make it to complicated to have everything under one roof

youre wrong fusion. the freedom to govern & protect ourselves eliviates the need for federal protection. the fed is 200 years old, is the outcome good? no, we're high on everyones shltlist, our economy is based on variables rather than actual wealth (gold, silver, jewels, ect) http://www.philipdru.com/griffin_stream.html , we're constantly at war, tollerate obvious inhouse attrocities (waco), we're 28th in education globally, agh!!! to much to list. point is, aint workin out. if we all have the means to peotect ourselves the crazies will come out in mass, true. itll be anarchy, but very short lived (so to speak). the more we rely on the fed, proven, the worse off we are. name something the fed does better & more efficient than private enterprise. no way, give me freedom, i'll handle my own security. shlt, this side of town handles its own security now, cops dont come here without military trained swat.

It's Washington, DC, home to the US government. It's between Virginia and Maryland and was set up as a district because the founding fathers didn't want a single state having claim to the national capital -- they wanted it independent.

Federal has a greater jurisdiction or control area than the State has. Feds. also have much more power and control than the State does.

Im also studying for my PSCI fianl, local governement is closer because it focuses on a smaller porcentage of people and is better able to meet their needs, on the other hand, federal is national and it is harder to be close to the people in this sense.

Your State's Federal offices should be able to point you in the right direction. You may also want to consult an attorney before doing this as a non-profit is extremely complex to implement and maintain

The Social Security Administration is an independent organization of the government and does not answer to any other department.

I think belonging to community groups actually serves the purpose of reuniting people just as the climate for social cohesiveness since the Industrial Revolution is at the height of fragmentation.\n\nBut yes, they do serve both functions.  As far as political organizations I personally feel that we'd be better served with an Israeli type cabinet where people get together on key issues but otherwise think for themselves; but nonetheless I think political involvement is a good thing.\n\nAs for Unions, I was a union rep and did it to prevent management from gaining the upper hand and punishing people at whim. As a union rep and also as a member of a fraternal organization I did feel I made a difference.\n\nI think, however, that in a perfect world none of this would be necessary because people would be following the Golden Rule and doing good things as individuals instead of under the banner of official organizations to achieve that.

It was in the 1920's.  It's a type of dual citizenship where they are autonomous, but yet fall under federal jurisdiction
