Answer:
A. Counties, municipalities, townships, school districts, and special
districts
Explanation:
Counties are the largest units of local government, numbering about 8,000 nationwide. They provide many of the same services provided by cities.
Municipalities include cities, villages, and boroughs and they number about 19,000 in the United States. Often called city government, municipalities provide services such as police and fire protection, parks and recreation, streets and sewers, among others.
Most of the more than 15,000 school districts in the U.S. operate independently of city government.
The 33,000 special districts nationwide are organized to provide one or more services such as water and sanitation, mosquito control, transportation, parks and recreation, flood control, etc. Special districts have the authority to levy taxes and to spend public money.

The proposed plans for the Constitutional Convention, New Jersey Plan and Virginia Plan, agreed that the new government needed to have checks and balances with branches of government. They agreed there needed to be a legislative branch to make laws, an executive branch to preside over everyday affairs, and a judicial branch to run the courts. These three branches would ensure no singular power could take over and rule as a tyrant.</span>
