This research project aims to construct a comprehensive database documenting the diverse forms of local government across the United States. The initial phase involves meticulously scouring official government websites to obtain the requisite information. In cases where online data is unavailable, alternative methods such as surveys or direct communication with government officials will be employed to ensure the acquisition of the most up-to-date information.
Furthermore, this project will make a valuable contribution to the field of governmental responsiveness by investigating its moderating impact on the relationship between various forms of government and various social equity outcomes.
