Its difference remains on that the state and federal government have different powers, such as levy taxes, borrow money, charter banks, define crime and punish crime. When creating new laws from and for a local government, the bill first has to be written by a senator or a representative. Then this one will be introduced to either the house or the senate. After it is analyzed the local general assembly the bill could be change, rebuilt, or sent back to the committee, if no changes are made, it will go to the governor. On the other hand federal laws go through a more structural, long and influential process that might involve the secretary of state, or special interests groups and political parties. This laws are regarded by elected officials that frequently complain about the influence of "special interests" on American politics.
