Government

Government refers to the system or group of people governing an organized community, often a state. It encompasses the institutions and processes through which political authority and power are exercised within a society. Governments are responsible for making and enforcing laws, maintaining order, providing public services, and protecting the rights of citizens. They operate at various levels, including local, regional, and national, and can take different forms, such as democracies, monarchies, authoritarian regimes, and totalitarian states. A government’s structure typically includes branches like the executive, legislative, and judicial, each with distinct roles and responsibilities to ensure checks and balances in the exercise of power.
