1. **True** - The structure of local governments varies, but they play a crucial role in providing services and representing the interests of their constituents. Local governments are responsible for a wide range of services such as education, public safety, infrastructure, and community services, and they directly impact the daily lives of residents.
2. **True** - American democracy is defined by representative institutions, separation of powers, and individual liberties. The system is characterized by elected representatives, distinct branches of government with specific powers, and protections of individual rights.
3. **False** - Local taxes are not typically funneled to the federal government. Local tax revenues generally remain within the local government to fund services and projects in that locality. Instead, local taxes primarily go to state and local budgets, whereas federal taxes go to the federal government. While there are intergovernmental transfers, local taxes are not directly funneled to the federal government.
