'''Local government''' is [[government]] below the [[nation]]al level.  In some countries, such as the [[United States]], local government more specifically refers to government below the [[state]] level.  Types of local government are varied and include [[county|counties]], [[city|cities]], [[township]]s, [[school district]]s, and [[special district]]s. In the United States, the [[Tenth Amendment]] makes local government in the states a matter for state legislatures rather than for [[Congress]].
