Case Study: As we have discussed a local charter is written to define in detail the expected roles, responsibilities, and relationships between the legislative and executive branches at the local level of government. Remember the charter is the local government equivalent of the state and federal constitution. The charter is subordinate to both due to the Supremacy Clause. Your task is to create a local charter structured like the state constitution.
