Okay, this is kind of long...but whatever. The state government is divided into three branches just as the national government. We have an executive branch, judicial, and legislative branch. Okay depending on whether you want to go local as in REALLY local or local as in state is a big difference. At the state level the executive branch is headed by the governor who is elected by popular vote by the people residing in that state (who are of course registered voters). The governor is kind of like the President, he makes sure laws are being put into action, and makes sure the state is running smoothly. Certain states may have different jobs for their governors depending on the state. For ex. Georgia requires their governor to make a balanced budget so they're never in debt. The judicial branch is the court systems. You get a speeding ticket and a state you might have to go to court. And states also have a legislative branch, locally it might be city council, but statewide each state also has their own little Congress that they use for laws within the state such as gay marriage, driving age, and marijuana laws.

Federal government differs from state in the way that it has more power. No matter what, it is stated in the Constitution that the federal government has supreme authority over state’ power. The states do not have the power to coin money like the federal government nor can they trade with foreign nations or declare war. If states have disputes with one another it is the federal government’s responsibility to find a solution. The states though also have the power to build roads and basically micromanage their state whereas the federal government only gets “the big picture”.
