Utah Government

Utah's government is structured into three branches: legislative, executive, and judicial. The legislative branch, composed of the Utah Legislature, makes laws and is divided into the Senate and House of Representatives. The executive branch is led by the governor, who enforces laws and oversees state agencies. The judicial branch interprets laws through courts, with the Utah Supreme Court as the highest authority. Local governments, like cities and counties, handle community-specific issues. Overall, Utah's government operates to create policies, enforce laws, and ensure justice for its residents through a system of checks and balances.
