Critical Law HELP ?

Hi I have a bunch of questions to answer, I've done the reading given but I honestly have no clue what they mean/what the answer is!

Any way anyone can help?
Thanks!

1. What role does law play in disputes between different state bodies?
2. Should local councils be expected to be neutral or to politically represent their community?
3. How should conflicts between different parts of the state be resolved?
4. Does the nation-state or central government always win in disputes with subordinate state bodies?
5. Why might subordinate bodies sometimes prove successful?
