Which term means local government?

• A. Municipal Government
• B. House of Commons
• C. Cabinet
• D. Governor General

Answer: (A)

Local government is the level that handles services and rules for a city, town, or district. The term for this level is municipal government. It focuses on community needs like local streets, parks, libraries, and zoning decisions that affect everyday life in a community. The other options operate at higher levels: the House of Commons is the national lawmaking body that creates laws for the whole country; the Cabinet is the group of ministers who run government departments and steer policy at the national or provincial level; and the Governor General acts as the monarch’s representative, handling ceremonial duties and representing the country. So municipal government is the term that describes local government.
