Book excerpt: Excerpt from The A B C of the Government of the United States The citizen of the United States in his 'daily life comes in contact with at least three and sometimes with five distinct divisions of government. If he lives in the South, he will be controlled by the Federal, State and County governments; if he lives in Greater New York, he will be under the Federal, State, County, City and Borough supervision. All of these govern ments exist on the same area but distinct from each other and without communication or conference; each has its own powers, finances and officers. Within its own sphere, each is supreme. Common to all government is a system of checks and balances in order that no individual or group of individuals may gain autocratic power. The extent of each zone or circle of government and its activities are sketched in the chapters which follow.
