Government refers to the system or organization through which a community, state, or nation is governed. It encompasses the institutions, processes, and individuals responsible for making and enforcing laws, managing public affairs, and providing services to citizens. Governments typically include branches such as the executive, legislative, and judicial, each with specific roles in decision-making, lawmaking, and ensuring justice. Governments vary widely in structure, ranging from democracies where citizens participate in governance through elections, to autocracies where power is concentrated in a single authority. The primary functions of government generally include maintaining order, providing public services, defending the nation, and promoting the well-being of its citizens.
