It has a separation of powers among the executive, legislative, and judicial branches to ensure balanced governance. The president is elected by popular vote for a four-year term and can be re-elected. The National Congress, consisting of the Senate and the Chamber of Deputies, makes laws and oversees the government. The judicial system interprets laws and protects rights. Citizens participate in elections, and the government aims to promote development, stability, and social well-being within a framework of constitutional law.
