A quick definition of federal government:

The federal government is the group of people who make important decisions for the whole country. They have the power to make rules and laws that everyone in the country has to follow. The federal government is made up of different parts, like the President, Congress, and the Supreme Court. They work together to make sure the country is running smoothly and everyone is safe and happy.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: The federal government is the national government of a country that exercises some degree of control over smaller political units that have surrendered some degree of power in exchange for the right to participate in national political matters. It refers collectively to the political organs of a country regardless of their function or level, and regardless of the subject matter they deal with.

Examples:

  • The United States government is an example of a federal government.
  • In a federal state, the central government is also known as the federal government.
  • The Canadian government is an example of a federal government that exercises control over smaller political units like provinces and territories.

These examples illustrate how the federal government is the national government that has the power to make decisions and laws that affect the entire country, while also allowing smaller political units to have some degree of autonomy.

I'm totally riding the Roomba when I become a cat. And knocking shit over, just because cats can be assholes like that and get away with it. And then I'll be cute. 😸

I was a dog in my previous life. That's why I like to chew on bones when I eat porterhouses or ribs or chicken.
