I see you both failed Junior High Civics classes and are not truthful. The question asked about The United States Government which per rules of English your civics classes and common sense have always meant without more State and Federal governments.

But then when one has such a bad education they did not know each state is sovereign with its own fully functioning government and when referring to federal government only the term is the United State’s Federal Government. We are not a communist state with a central government yet.

"I see you both failed Junior High Civics classes and are not truthful."

Actually, I did quite well in all my Junior High classes (I had an A average). And, the only times I've ever been accused of being a liar has been by someone projecting his own failings on me. I wouldn't be surprised if that record is continuing.
