Excerpt from The A B C of the Government of the United States THE idea of government in the United States in its three phases - National, State and Local - is one of zones. If the whole frame of government is broadly viewed, it will be seen that it consists of self-governing zones. The smallest zone is that around the individual in his home affairs; then come successive zones until the outer circle of the Federal Government is reached. Under nationalist rule, divisions and subdivisions are formed for the purpose of more convenient administration. These are subordinate and largely executive districts. The United States is composed of numerous, and in a degree absolutely, self-governing units. Every division of government in the United States has certain exclusive powers which, within their legitimate limits, are not to be interfered with by any other power. Sources of Power The State is the original source of power; it has given certain of its inherent powers to the United States by the Federal Constitution and it has delegated certain other powers to its own smaller divisions - the County, and the Township or City. The underlying idea is that broader functions shall be given to greater entities and smaller functions shall be given to smaller entities so that each individual may have a large part in the affairs which are nearest to him while bigger community matters shall be transferred to larger units.

In A Necessary Evil, Pulitzer Prize-winning author Garry Wills shows that distrust of government is embedded deep in the American psyche. From the revolt of the colonies against king and parliament to present-day tax revolts, militia movements, and debates about term limits, Wills shows that American antigovernment sentiment is based on a fundamental misunderstanding of our history. By debunking some of our fondest myths about the Founding Fathers, the Constitution, and the taming of the frontier, Wills shows us how our tendency to hold our elected government in disdain is misguided.
