Baltimore is a major city in Maryland with a long history as an important seaport. Fort McHenry, birthplace of the U.S. national anthem, “The Star-Spangled Banner,” sits at the mouth of Baltimore’s Inner Harbor. Today, this harbor area offers shops, upscale crab shacks and attractions like the Civil War–era warship the USS Constellation and the National Aquarium, showcasing thousands of marine creatures.

City governments are chartered by states, and their charters detail the objectives and powers of the municipal government. But in many respects, the cities function independently of the states. City governments provide many services to their citizens like continuing organization, the authority to undertake public activities, the ability to enter into contracts and the ability to collect taxes and determine a budget. In the council-manager form of government, the city council members are elected by the citizens. The members can be elected by districts, at large or in some combination of the two. The city council adopts and amends local ordinances within the boundaries of state law and the city’s founding document usually called the city charter. Most have some kind of central council, elected by the voters, and an executive officer, assisted by various department heads, to manage the city's affairs.
