It is false that one of the personality traits fisted for a roofer is independent.
A roofer needs the help of at least, another person. It is a risky job because of the heights and the kind of job and reparations up there. So for safety reasons, it needs an extra hand. The roofer could be an independent contractor, but it has to have some kind of support.
Every state's constitution sets up an administration that is, here and there or other, designed after the United States government.
Every state has an independently chosen Governor, instead of a Westminster style parliamentary arrangement of government where the CEO would be chosen by the assembly (parliament).
In each express, the head of state and the head of government are a similar individual. No state has a ruler or titles of respectability.
Every state constitution has a bill of rights. Much of the time, similar rights that are found in the government bill of rights can likewise be found in express constitutions' bills of rights. Much of the time, state constitutions give a larger number of rights than the government constitution.
Every state has a different official, administrative, and legal branch, similar to the government.
