What is the main source for of revenue for local government?
Local taxes like sales tax and real estate taxe, and permit fees.
What is the difference between a national government and a state government?
National government deals with the entire nation; for example, what is the legal voting or drinking age. State government does the same thing, but on the state level; for example, at what age can a teenager receive a driver's permit. State laws cannot contradict national laws; for example, the state could not say that the legal drinking age was 15, because the national law has set it at 21.
Strong central government?
AnswerA strong central government is one that is able to force the states and municipalities to abide by the central government's laws.The Civil War is an example of a strong central government. There are many good debates about whether things would be better if the southern states were allowed to secede. There is a strong argument that the Civil War was used by the central government to prove its strength in an effort to promote something called the "American System". A quote from Lincoln states directly that he would permit or prohibit slavery in whatever way he thought would "save the union". Sadly, "saving the union" meant using force to prevent secession, basically destroying the foundation of the U.S. Constitution which was willingness to join the union.
How do you get a proposition on the ballot nationally?
There is no way to have a ballot proposition for the entire United States. Some states, such as California, permit "initiative and referendum" which allow citizens to write their own ballot propositions, but not all states do. The government of the Unites States is a "representative republic", not a democracy. Citizens do not vote directly on the issues; citizens elect representatives to act in our names. The Federal government has no provision to allow citizens to vote directly on government policies.
