National Governments
National governments are the political organizations that govern a sovereign state, responsible for making and enforcing laws, managing public services, and guiding foreign relations. They consist of various branches, typically including an executive (led by a president or prime minister), a legislature (which creates laws), and a judiciary (which interprets laws). National governments aim to maintain order, protect citizens' rights, and promote economic and social welfare. They operate within a framework defined by a constitution or legal system, and their functions can vary widely based on the country’s political structure and ideologies.
