American government is based on the principle of federalism, which distributes governmental power between national (usually referred to as federal) and state governments. In turn, state governments create local units of government, such as counties and cities. Each of these levels of government has its own array of police, courts, and corrections. This decentralization adds tremendously to the complexity of the American criminal justice system. For example, depending on the nature of the law allegedly violated, several different prosecutors may bring charges against a defendant, including the following: city attorney (local), district attorney (county), attorney general (state), U.S. attorney (U.S. district court), and U.S. attorney general (national).
