Welcome
to the Junto Society's how Government Works page. The is
an ongoing project with several goals in mind. Once this
page nears completion, each elected position at the
Municipal, County, State and Federal levels, as well as
many appointed positions, will be outlined with a brief
description of the position. Simply click each
link to view the description. These descriptions will be
followed by submissions from people around the country
who actually fill those positions. We have done
this to illustrate how positions may vary according to
location. For instance, a County Clerk in Texas,
does a substantially different job from a County Clerk
in Oklahoma.
You
will also find a brief description of the various forms of
government used throughout the United States by clicking
on the links; Municipal, County, State,
and Federal. At the bottom of the page, you will
also find links to other information concerning how
government works in America.
We
hope you find this project helpful and that you will
return often to view updates.
