The United States is divided into 50 states and one federal district. Each state has its own government, constitution and laws, but all are subject to the Constitution and federal laws. The federal government is responsible for matters that affect the whole country, such as national defense and international relations, while state governments handle issues such as education and healthcare. The capital of the US is Washington D.C, which is a federal district and not a state.
