Minnesota State Government

Minnesota's state government operates under a democratic structure, divided into three branches: legislative, executive, and judicial. The Minnesota Legislature, composed of the House of Representatives and the Senate, makes the laws. The Governor, elected by the people, leads the executive branch, enforcing laws and overseeing state agencies. The judicial branch interprets laws through the court system. Minnesota’s government focuses on public services like education, healthcare, and transportation, emphasizing citizen engagement and community well-being. This system is designed to balance power and ensure accountability while reflecting the interests of its diverse population.
