What is the canadian federal government in charge of?

Look after the whole country and their rulesThe Federal Government is the leading government that takes care of Australia they are in charge of laws that affect the country as a whole. When the electorates from all over Australia gather to share views and give updates and ideas, the commonwealth government is split up into two separate judiciaries of power; they are called the Senate and the House of Representatives. The house of representatives, despite having more people, actually has less power as anything they come up with must be passed through the Senate before it goes into and more detail or consideration. The house of Representatives consists of 150 members that each represents a different area in Australia (also known as electorates) for example Wayne Swan goes to Canberra as the Electorate for Lillie and there are many more members and electorates. The electorate areas are roughly around the same populations therefore resulting in the fact that states with higher populations have more representatives in the House. The Senate has much less however, it is comprised of 76 members but instead of amounts depending on the population the Senate is spread evenly among the states: there are 12 for each state and 2 for each territory. The Senate was established later on as a way to ensure that each state had a fair say and so that laws that would be of an advantage to states of largerpopulations and disadvantage to those with less [populations]. Another part of government is the executive in which there are many different departments that have been formed so that each would be in charge of certain controlling of Australia some of these departments include the Department of Education, Science and Training which works with the State government to develop rules and policies for people to follow to ensure that people get the best possible education and learning, study and training and the study of Science. There are many other departments within government. The final part of government is known as judiciary. It works completely on its own and does not rely on the other two forms within the Federal Government. Their role is to make sure that Australia is following its laws and that the Government is abiding by the Constitution or that of parliament. The high court is Australia's highest courts but below that are several other Federal courts. Federal government runs many different areas of requirement in our society, this includes; - Australian Facts and Figures - Benefits, Payments & Services - Business & Industry - Culture, History & Sport - Defence and International Relations - Economics, Finance & Tax - Education & Training - Employment & Workplace - Environment & Natural Resources - Family, Home & Community - Government and Parliament - Health & Safety - Immigration - Information & Communications - Law & Justice - Primary Industry - Science & Technology - Tourism & Travel - Transport

This is admittedly an educated guess and may be applicable only in the US: But I believe the answer would be Municipal Courts or County-level court systems probably hear the most cases due simply to the sheer number of misdemeanor and traffic cases that are heard each day.

Why did Reagan fire the ATC?

August 03,1981 PATCO members (Professional Air Traffic Controllers Organization) went on strike and were told to be back at their jobs in 48 hours or the government would assume the striking controllers had quit. Congress in 1947 passed a law forbidding strikes by Government employees. Reagan read aloud the non-strike oath that each air controller, and indeed any federal employee, must sign upon hiring. Reagan further stated the strikers are in violation of the law, and if they do not report for work within 48 hours, they have forfeited their jobs and will be terminated. Many of the PACO strike members did not return back to work and as a result were fired.
