Who holds the power to make treaties?
I assume that you mean this question to be in regards to the United States since it is in the U.S. History category... With that assumption in mind, the Federal government is the only government in the U.S. that has the power to make treaties with other countries. An example to make this slightly more clear would be to say that the state of Montana cannot make a treaty with Canada over something such as a border dispute... it must be the U.S. Government that enters a treaty to end such a dispute. and to be more specific within the federal government... it is the executive branch that has this power, not the judicial or legislative. however, the legislative branch must approve a treaty made by the president.

What are the 3 different levels of government?
Legally, there are only two levels of government in Canada. Federal and Provincial.Canada has a government in the Westminster tradition, meaning basically that Parliament is the supreme authority. This is complicated by the fact that there are two legislative jurisdictions (Federal and Provincial) with separate houses governing each. In theory, each legislature can make any law it chooses within its areas of jurisdiction specified in the Constitution - but a number of these areas, such as healthcare, overlap.The Constitution refers to only the federal government houses as Parliament, while provincial houses are styled Legislative Assemblies.The Provincial government is not legally subordinate to the Federal government or vice versa, though each has constitutionally defined areas of exclusive jurisdiction. The federal Parliament is also granted the right to enact laws "for the peace, order, and good government of Canada" in any area not assigned exclusively to the provinces.In practice, the Provincial legislatures generally hold sway in most matters confined to their geographical borders, while the Federal government has almost exclusive say in matters of state, such as defense, customs, immigration, international diplomacy, and inter-provincial transportation.Municipal governments are creatures of the Province and have no powers except those explicitly granted by their respective provincial governments. In similar fashion, Territories are subordinate to the Federal Government as, by extension, are the municipalities contained within them.However, quite simply, the three levels of government in Canada are considered to be:FederalProvincialMunicipalSometimes 'regional' government is included as well.
