Multiple levels of government are necessary because each level serves different purposes and responsibilities. The federal government is needed for handling national defense, foreign relations, and providing citizens with services such as social security. State governments are necessary for managing education, transportation, and healthcare within their borders. For example, state governments provide funding for public schools and oversee the administration of Medicaid programs. Local governments are needed for services closer to the individual, such as fire and police protection, trash pickup, and parks and recreation facilities. An example of a service provided by local government is maintaining and repairing roads in a county.
