Vermont State Government

Vermont’s state government is structured into three branches: the Executive, led by the Governor who enforces laws; the Legislature, made up of the House of Representatives and Senate, which creates laws; and the Judiciary, including courts that interpret laws. State officials are elected by residents, and the government manages public services like education, transportation, and healthcare. Vermont also emphasizes local governance, with towns and cities having their own councils. This system ensures the state runs smoothly, addresses residents’ needs, and upholds its laws and constitution.
