Morphology
united + state + government
The meaning ('the federal governing institutions of the United States') is directly and compositionally derived from combining 'United' + 'States' + 'government' and corresponds to the common pattern 'X government' = 'government of X'. This is a literal, cross-linguistically regular construction using transparent word meanings, so a B1 learner who knows the constituents should be able to infer the MWE's meaning.
Etymology
The phrase United States government comes from the idea of many states that are united under one government after they joined to make one country. So, it means the people and groups that 'run the country' for everyone in the United States.
