State Government of California

The California state government is the governing body responsible for creating laws, policies, and services for the state’s residents. It consists of three branches: the Executive (led by the Governor), which enforces laws; the Legislature (Senate and Assembly), which makes laws; and the Judiciary, which interprets laws through courts. The government manages areas like education, transportation, health, and public safety. State agencies and departments implement policies, while elected officials are accountable to voters. California’s government operates within the framework of the U.S. Constitution, balancing authority to serve the diverse needs of its population.
