Government

Government refers to the system or group of individuals that holds the authority to make and enforce laws and policies within a specific political entity, such as a country, state, or community. It is responsible for administering public services, regulating social conduct, and managing resources. Governments may take various forms, including democracies, autocracies, monarchies, and republics, each with distinct structures and functions. The primary functions of government typically include maintaining order, providing national security, facilitating economic stability, and promoting social welfare. The legitimacy and effectiveness of a government often depend on the consent of the governed, as well as adherence to the rule of law and respect for human rights.
