We have - as you know by now - three levels of government, two specifically mentioned in the Constitution. As with conflict between each branch of government, conflict exists between these three levels of government. While there is - on paper - a clear distinction between the functions of each level, in reality there is tremendous overlap. And since the political goals of the national, state, and local governments can differ, this overlap often leads to conflict.

- Federalism.
- US - Texas conflict
