I couldn't not find the answer to this in my book.

The county form of local government is found in a. about half the states, b. all but two states, c.only 2 states, d. fewer then half of the states.

I am guessing that since my book says " over the past century, the role of county government has grown enormously thoughout the united states."
The answer should be B

You're right. Louisiana and Alaska have different systems.

Thank you

You're welcome.

To find the answer to this question, you can follow these steps:

1. Start by identifying the possible options that the question provides: a, b, c, and d.

2. Read the question carefully and try to understand its context. In this case, the question is asking about the presence of the county form of local government in the United States.

3. Recall the information from your book that states, "over the past century, the role of county government has grown enormously throughout the United States."

4. By considering this information, you can eliminate answer options a (about half the states) and c (only 2 states) since the book indicates that county government has grown throughout the whole country.

5. This leaves us with b (all but two states) and d (fewer than half of the states). But based on the information from your book, which states that county government has grown enormously throughout the United States, it would be logical to conclude that the correct answer is b (all but two states).

Therefore, the answer to your question is b. all but two states.
