Answer:
Home rule.
Explanation:
Home rule is the system by which federalism is applied in the United States: the delegation of functions by the federal government in the states, and of these in the local governments, makes it the latter to exercise the prerogatives that were delegated to them, within the framework of their territories.
Thus, each local government exercises its delegated powers within its territories, only the states being able to exercise the powers that they did not delegate to the local governments, and the federal government those powers that they did not delegate to the states.
In this way, voters elect their local representatives in elections, who will handle most of the prerogatives that directly affect the citizenship of a determined local jurisdiction.
