Their state governments

Local governments derive their power from state constitutions. It varies from state to state. Government in the US tends to be very layered, but I suppose that was the intention of the framers. The idea behind that is, regarding citizens, it makes more sense to try to govern in an "everyday" sense of the word, if you don't have broad sweeping laws derived from a federal source, which is often (as the past 10 years have proven) very difficult to hold accountable. Rather, most of the laws that you come into contact with on a daily basis are local or state wide. Examples of state governance would be speed limits and state income taxes. Examples of local governance (at the town or county level) would be taxes that are paid on alcohol and how readily available it is.
