Abstract

The diversity and variability of the forms of local government in the United States is a function of the federal form of the state and the broad powers of state authorities towards their administrative units, but also flexible legal solutions that enable citizens to influence the form of local government and their pragmatic attitude towards institutional solutions. The types of units of local government in the United States were described. Particular attention was paid to municipal corporations and their institutional forms, which exemplify the paper’s topic.
