Mexican Federal Government

The Mexican Federal Government is the national authority that oversees the entire country of Mexico. It is divided into three branches: the executive, led by the President who enforces laws; the legislature, which consists of Congress that makes laws; and the judiciary, comprising courts that interpret laws. The government manages national policies, defense, foreign relations, and economic development. Mexico is also divided into 32 states, each with its own government, but the federal government handles issues affecting the entire nation. This structure ensures a balance of power and coordination across different levels of government.
