Not all vehicles in North America have governors nor is it required by law.
Alot of Japanese cars do but that’s because they didn’t bother removing the governor that they use in Japan (190kph/118mph). Most American and European manufactured cars are limited by transmission or physics and not governors.

What law? There is no such law in either the US or Canada (US because the internet is generally US-Centric, Canada because that’s where I am)
The vehicles do have governors, but it’s more about whats safe for the vehicle and its tire rating than road speeds.
