Local government
Local governments are administrative offices that are smaller than a
state or
province. The term is used to contrast with offices that stand naked
nation-state level, which are referred to as the
central government,
national government, or (where appropriate)
federal government.In modern
nations, local governments usually have fewer powers than national governments do. They usually have some power to raise
taxes, though these may be limited by central
legislation. In some countries local government is partly or wholly funded by subventions from central government taxation. The question of
Municipal Autonomy—which powers the local government has, or should have, and why—is a key question of
public administration and
governance. The institutions of local government vary greatly between countries, and even where similar arrangements exist, the terminology often varies. Common names for local government entities include state,
province,
region,
department,
county,
prefecture,
district,
city,
township,
town,
borough,
parish,
municipality,
shire and
village. However all these names are often used informally in countries where they do not describe a legal local government entity.

Gobierno municipal
En los Estados Unidos, gobierno municipal significa gobierno de una municipalidad con una distinta jurisdicción dentro del estado. Una
municipalidad es una corporación local gubernamental, que puede tener el estatus de una
ciudad, un
pueblo o una
aldea. La palabra "ciudad" es algo como una no-entidad según la ley estadounidense. En la mayoría de los estados, "pueblo" es sólo un sinónimo de "ciudad"; en algunos estados, "pueblo" es sinónimo de "aldea"; y en algunos otros estados, un "pueblo" es una jurisdicción de tamaño intermedio entre "ciudad" y "aldea".
