Use the paragraph about the structure of local government to answer the question.

Local government is the smallest of the three levels in the United States. The other two levels are the state and national governments. But, local government is broken down into even smaller parts! Regional governments are in charge of the cities or towns within a county. Municipal governments take care of the people in a city. There are other kinds of local government too, such as school districts. These districts govern a specific group of people, such as school children.
