Direct Services. The postal system, for example, is a federal system【3】the entire nation, as is the large and complex establishment. Conversely, the construction and【4】of most highways, the【5】of the individual states, and the public educational systems, despite a large funding role by the federal government, are primarily【6】for by country or city governments. Police and fire protection and sanitation【7】are also the responsibilities of local government.
Regulation and Control. The government regulates and controls private【8】in many ways, for the【9】of assuring that business serves the best【10】of the people as a whole.
