local government

Introduction

Local government is that government that directs the local administration in the administrative demarcations lower than the province, normally municipalities, communes or cantons "Canton (subnational entity)").

It is usually headed by a mayor, mayor, commune president or municipal president, who holds the presidency of the local administration and the municipal plenary session, and is made up of councillors, councilors or councilors who, gathered in plenary session, exercise regulatory power at the local level.[1] In some cases, the town councils of small towns are governed by some type of assembly system, such as the traditional one that in Spain is called open council, or deliberative council (in countries such as Argentina, Dominican Republic, etc.).

By extension, the town hall is also usually called town hall, municipality, municipal palace or commune; the building that serves as the administration headquarters.

Generally, the City Council is the administrative body with the lowest territorial rank and, therefore, the closest to the citizen, although large municipalities are usually subdivided administratively into neighborhoods, districts, barracks&action=edit&redlink=1 "Cuartel (municipality) (not yet drafted)"), sections&action=edit&redlink=1 "Section (municipality) (not yet drafted)"), delegations "Delegation (municipality)") and syndicates or districts (the latter of a more rural nature).

China

In China, "municipalities under direct rule" are called municipalities (in Chinese, pinyin, zhíxiáshì). The current four municipalities are the cities of Beijing, Shanghai, Tianjin and the Chongqing area. They are in first rank, at the provincial level, the same as that of the provinces in the territorial organization of China.

USA

In the United States, municipal government means government of a municipality with a distinct jurisdiction within the state. A municipality is a local government corporation, which may have the status of a city, town or village. The word "city" is something of a non-entity under US law. In most states, "town" is just a synonym for "city"; In some states, "town" is synonymous with "village"; and in some other states, a "town" is a jurisdiction intermediate in size between "city" and "village."

Some municipal jurisdictions, including New York City and San Francisco "San Francisco (California)") are metropolitan municipalities. The metropolitan municipality is a special type of municipality that is simultaneously a local government corporation and an administrative division of the state, exercising its autonomous powers as a city, in addition to the exercise of sovereignty that the state government assigns to the counties.

In the United States, municipalities are legally separate from counties. A county is an administrative division of the state, while municipalities are autonomous jurisdictions incorporated into the state. The degree of autonomy granted to them depends on the type of municipality.

In most states, cities are completely autonomous jurisdictions that are not subject to the authority of a county. Conversely, most villages have limited autonomy and are subject to the control of a county authority. Cities typically have a mayor, who may be head of state but not head of government, or may be both. Likewise the official of a village, who may have a status similar to that of a mayor, is generally called "president" of the village, not "mayor."

A village may have the option to provide certain services associated with a city government, but they generally do not have the responsibility to provide them.

In California the taxing power of municipalities is strictly limited by Proposition 13"), a 1978 amendment to the California Constitution.

The size of a municipality ranges from very small (e.g., the village of Dexter "Dexter (Michigan)", Michigan, with approximately 2,500 residents) to very large (e.g., Los Angeles, California, with approximately 4 million residents); Therefore municipal governments also range from very small to very large. Most municipalities have a planning department or commission. Whether they have other departments or contracts outside of services (such as legal and accounting services) depends on the size of the municipality, whether it is a city or a village, etc. San Francisco "San Francisco (California)"), for example, a metropolitan municipality with a population of approximately 750,000 has an elected city-county attorney, public defender, and a district attorney. The City of Ypsilanti), Michigan, with a population of approximately 24,000, contracts with a local law firm for legal services and does not have its own criminal prosecutor or public defender.
