Federal government

The federal government is like a big family or group of people that help to keep the country safe and running smoothly. They protect us from other countries and make sure everyone in the U.S. is following the same set of rules. The federal government also provides services like education, health care, and roads. They also collect taxes from all the people in the United States and use that money to pay for these services. The federal government is led by a President and other elected leaders like senators and representatives. They help to decide on laws and how the country will be run.
