The federal government is specifically laid out in the constitution of the united states. it has grown through laws passed by congress and through judicial interpretation of these laws, for instants, congress has the right to oversee interstate commerce, judicial review says that they can now shut an  establishment down if they aren't handicapped accessible, and so on. a local government regulates everything else from property tax to speed limits to zoning laws. You have a direct say who runs your local government where as you vote for a representative to voice your opinion in federal matters.  This could literally take weeks to go over but I hope you get the basics, read up some government web sites on US democracy or get the cliff notes on Tocqueville's Democracy in America, an old book but a knowledgeable one written by a Frenchman.

Colonial Massachusetts - Massachusetts was the most important northern colony, as well as an important part of New England, where many American institutions and traditions were formed. Unlike southern colonies, it was built around small towns, rather than scattered farms. The Pilgrims settled the Plymouth Colony, and Puritan settlers traveled to Salem and later to Boston in the Massachusetts Bay Colony. As the Puritans gradually secularized and became known as Yankees, the Congregational Church continued to dominate most small towns. Late in the colonial period Baptist and other dissenting churches emerged, and the elites in Boston and other cities turned to the Anglican and Unitarian religions. The colony defeated some Indian tribes in King Philip's War in the 1670s, and fought with Britain a series of French and Indian Wars that were characterized by brutal border raids, and successful attacks on Canada. \nPre-revolutionary events - Massachusetts was a center of the American Revolution, with actions by the patriots and counter-actions by the Crown (including the Intolerable Acts) a main reason for unity of the 13 colonies and the outbreak of war, starting with battles around Boston in 1775-76. Also see Boston Massacre, Boston Tea Party. \nBattles of the American Revolution - Battles of Lexington and Concord, Siege of Boston, Battle of Bunker Hill. \nFirst Governor of the Commonwealth - John Hancock was the first governor of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. \nShays' Rebellion - Western Massachusetts uprising after the Revolution. \nU.S. Constitution - On February 6, 1788, Massachusetts became the sixth state to ratify the United States Constitution. \nSlavery - According to a 1790 census, Massachusetts had a slave population of zero. \nDistrict of Maine - On March 15, 1820, Maine was separated from Massachusetts, of which it had been a non-contiguous part, and entered the Union as the 23rd State. (See Missouri Compromise) \nU.S. Civil War - The 54th Massachusetts Volunteer Infantry was one of the first African-American regiments in the U.S. military. \nThe Central Artery/Tunnel Project (CA/T) - Known as the Big Dig to locals, it is the most expensive single highway construction project in the United States. The project began 1991, with final construction occurring in 2006. \nRoman Catholic Church sex abuse scandal - In 2002, the diocese was found to have knowingly moved priests who sexually molested children from parish to parish and to have covered up abuse. \nSame-sex marriage - On November 18, 2003, the Supreme Judicial Court (SJC) ruled that the state could not deny marriage rights to same-sex couples under the state constitution. Same-sex marriage is currently legal in Massachusetts. \nInvention of sports: \nCandlepin bowling was invented in Worcester, Massachusetts in 1880. \nBasketball was invented in Springfield, Massachusetts in 1891. \nVolleyball was invented in Holyoke, Massachusetts in 1895.

http://www3.capwiz.com/y/dbq/officials/\n\nit's a yahoo site, with a searchable database on all elected state/federal and i think some town/city/local government stuff as well. You can look up specific bills and see who voted how, or what a particular person has voted for and how they voted. So far, it's always been accurate what I've seen.
