The administrative and political entity responsible for governing the State is structured upon principles of separation of powers. This framework divides authority among three distinct branches: the Executive, the Legislative, and the Judicial. Each branch possesses specific responsibilities and limitations, designed to ensure a balance of power and prevent the concentration of authority in any single entity. This structure mirrors the federal system of the United States, providing a foundation for stability and accountability.
The functionality of the state’s system is fundamental to the well-being and prosperity of its residents. Its actions directly impact public safety, economic development, education, infrastructure, and social services. Historically, the evolution of the system reflects the changing needs and priorities of the population. From its colonial origins to its present form, the states leadership has adapted to address evolving challenges and opportunities, shaping the character and direction of the state’s development.
