#1 -- Research your topic. You need to decide if you'll be writing about city, county, or state level governments ... or all three and how they interact.
Start at http://www.google.com and use your city, county, and state names as search terms. Read, read, read...

#2 -- Follow the writing process, whether you're writing a paragraph, an essay, or a research paper:
Prewriting: Brainstorm, research, plan, outline, thesis statement
Writing: Write first draft by starting with section II of your outline; write the introduction after the body of the paper is written; write the conclusion last.
Polishing: Revise, concentrating first on the body of the paper, then the intro, then the concl (revision = making sure ideas are logical and sequential and support your thesis); proofread (spelling, grammar, usage, etc.)
Do you have a thesis yet? Have you done your brainstorming (and maybe research) yet? Have you written an outline?
