State

occasionally questions are asked the wrong way - which shouldn't be too surprising as the reason you would ask for help would usually be that you don't understand the text. If you don't understand the text, it's easy to ask the wrong question. CQFD

There are many questions that result from wrong parsing (not this one). So according to you if that happens nothing should be done about it, like correcting first the formulation of the question?

There is more to translating than just being obsessed with chucking out as much as possible from the Source Text ...

Stop telling Masoud what he should have asked! His question doesn't "beg to be reformulated".

your question begs to be reformulated!

As each of the 50 States (making the Federal State know in international relations as the USA) is a fully fledged "State" in the sense of a "territory with its own political organisation" if follows that each of them has its own "government" (and its own legislative branch and its own judiciary ...) IOW your question is not very precise.

You meant federal government vs a constitutive State?

You could have as well asked about "The Federal State" vs the government of a constitutive state, it wouldn't have made ANY practical difference.

Your question is in fact about "levels of government" i.e. the federal state vs any of the 50 constitutive States.

What can make it confusing is that within the USA the designation "State" is used not for an internationally recognised / independent state (such as the state of Iran) but for the constitutive elements of the "federal state" (USA)

But if the definition is of a state based programme funded by the federal government, then it is referring to the individual state.

Your question asked 'state based or government based', hence the answers to your specific question.

That's a valid point! A definition should not contain the word it defines, and I can see why you posted this. It means one of the states.The difference between state and federal won't necessarily be obvious to someone outside the US.

I myself had that link and definition. "State" can both mean "government" and "one of the states of the United States like California state". Please use other words than "state" to define "state"!
