The federal government is divided into three branches - the Executive, the Legislative, and the Judicial - each designed by the framers of the Constitution to balance the powers vested in each branch.
Forcitizens seeking assistance with government agencies, it can often bedifficult to differentiate federal government responsibilities andstate government responsibilities. As a general rule, programs andservices that are national in scope - like Social Security, Medicare,Veterans' benefits, etc. - are federal government responsibilities andare administered by the corresponding federal government agency.Services like law enforcement, motor vehicle services, publictransportation, power services, etc., are handled by state and localgovernment agencies.
