Answer 1

Correct answer: "State and federal governments have the same three branches of government, but they differ in size and scope."

Both levels have executive, legislative, and judicial branches with similar roles, but their structures and powers vary (e.g., most states have bicameral legislatures except Nebraska, governors instead of a president, and separate state court systems).
