Question

which of the following is not true about state governments? states have three branches of government. states have written constitutions. states can override laws of the federal government.

Explanation:

To determine the false statement, we analyze each option:

• States have three branches (executive, legislative, judicial) like the federal government, so this is true.
• All U.S. states have written constitutions, so this is true.
• Under the Supremacy Clause of the U.S. Constitution, federal law is supreme; states cannot override federal laws. Thus, "States can override laws of the federal government" is false.

Answer:

C. States can override laws of the federal government.
