Taking a look at each of them, starting from the last, the federal government is the highest, as it is made up of the President, senate president, vice and other cabinets.

State Government is the second in the hierarchy of the level of government, which is to say from any way you want to ascertain, descending or ascending, it is always at the middle. It is made up of the Governor, Vice Governor, commissioner and the rest of them.

The Local Government: This is the lowest level of government, which is made up of the Chairman, Vice Chairman, councilor and others.

All this levels, have various play in the society.
