Colombian Government

Colombia has a democratic government structured as a presidential republic. This means the President serves as both the head of state and government, elected for a four-year term. The government is divided into three branches: the executive (the President and their cabinet), the legislative (Congress, which includes the Senate and House of Representatives), and the judicial (courts and legal systems). Power is decentralized, with departments and municipalities having local governments. Colombia's political landscape has historically been influenced by various factors, including conflict, drug trafficking, and social issues, leading to ongoing efforts for peace and stability.
