Go to your local city clerk and/or county clerk and ask this question of them.  They will direct you to the appropriate local departments and agencies who will have the specific sources and procedures you require.  While there are some common sources, different localities will have unique sources or unique requirements.  An example is "Block Grant Funding which exists in many communities and is federal monies, however, it will be issued locally with unique local requirements.

The government is over the administration.  We have our national, state and city government.  We vote those to govern and in turn those we vote in, oversee the administrative part.

if you're referring to the actually building, the place of employment, then it would be restricted or unrestricted access to the offices. if you're talking about public office, such as an elected official, then it's slightly different. there are paid and unpaid positions in local government, paid positions usually being a fulltime job, if you lose the election though, you're out. private employment is where you work for a civilian employer.

Federalism focuses on the idea of a balance between the local individualized governments of the states and the large unified Country-wide government, i.e. our federal government.  Separation of powers can refer to what is constitutionally given to the federal government and what is left to the states.

There are National and Local officials in the Philippines. The president, vice-president, senators and cabinet members (i.e. secreatary of national defense, secretary of agriculture, secretary of health and so on...) are included in the national officials while Mayors, vice mayors, congressmen, governors an councilors are samples of local officials. Hope this helps. Good luck on your homework!

what is the difference between town and city\nsounds like a city can be a town as well\nthough a town is not necessarily a city\n?????\n\nhttp://www.answers.com/topic/town\nA civil and political subdivision of a state, which varies in size and significance according to location but is ordinarily a division of a county.\n\nA town, which is a type of municipal corporation, can be formed by a state legislature when a large number of dwellings have concentrated in a particular location. A town is a creation of the state, designed and authorized to perform certain governmental functions on the local level. Its main purpose is to exercise the power of the state to promote greater prosperity, safety, convenience, health, and the common good of the general community.\n\nThe terms township and town are frequently used interchangeably in certain geographic locations, although in some parts of the United States the term township denotes a group of several towns.\n\nSince towns can be formed only from contiguous territory, tracts of land that are entirely separate cannot be included in a town. Subject to constitutional restrictions, ordinarily, the state legislature has full power to create, enlarge, diminish, consolidate, and otherwise alter the boundaries of towns without the consent of those affected.\n\n\ntown\nnoun\n      A large and important town: city, metropolis, municipality. Informal burg.

federalism is the notion of a strong, centralized government. anti federalism is about states rights. since we are a federalist republic, that means what washington says takes precedence over what a state capital says. for example, some states have a medical marijuana law. the fed govt says marijuana is illegal in all cases. so its off to jail you go if the atf comes to your house. there may be some semblance of these doctrines to the parties.

I am for a strong local government and a weaker federal government.   I say this because I believe govt can impact people's lives at a local level far better than from washington d.c.

If the state legislature can do it, then by virtue of the fact that a city a sub-entity of the state they can do it also.  Remember unlike the difference between the states and the federal government were the federal government can not dissolve a state, that a state creates and can dissolve a city.  Therefore a city is truly for all purposes a "department" within the state whos jurisdiction is not limited by the issue (unless the state says they can't) but rather by geography.

Well, your question is unclear, but I am assuming you are asking why we have "dual courts" in the sense that there are federal courts and state courts. \n\nThe short answer is federalism - the federal government is one of limited, typically enumerated powers, while the states are governments of more traditional plenary powers. The jurisdiction of the courts are also different. Federal jurisdiction for the most part arises from two statutes, 28 USC 1331 and 28 USC 1332. One provides for "diversity jurisdiction" (most commonly when two citizens from different states sue eachother). The other provides for "federal question" jurisdiction, in that the issue in the suit arises under the Constitution or laws of the United States (as opposed to the various states).\n\nState courts generally are of general jurisdiction and can, for the most part, hear any case (although this is subject to removal to federal court if authorized by statute or exclusive federal jurisdiction is provided for in the underlying statute providing the cause of action.)\n\nThis of course is a very abbreviated and overly simplified discussion of a complex issue of jurisdiction and federalism. Hope it helps.
