Local government gets its authority from the government

False

Explanation:

In simple words, every government all over the world gets its authority to work from the public demand through their voting. All the three levels of Government have their specified area of works and the communities under the subject jurisdictions elect their representatives to work for the betterment.

Every government, under the system of democracy, works independently as per the elections and no local government has to take permission from the federal government as their power and work space are different.
