In the United States, the [[Tenth Amendment]] makes local government in the states a matter for state legislatures rather than for [[Congress]].  However, limitations on state power in the [[United States Constitution]], such as the [[Equal Protection Clause]], impose some limitations on states' powers to organize local governments.
