The major branches of government in Mexico are divided into three branches:
-
Executive Branch:
- The President of Mexico, who is the head of state and government.
- The Cabinet, which consists of various secretaries and heads of government agencies.
-
Legislative Branch:
- The Congress of the Union, which is bicameral and consists of two chambers:
- Chamber of Deputies (Cámara de Diputados)
- Senate of the Republic (Senado de la República)
-
Judicial Branch:
- The Supreme Court of Justice of the Nation (Suprema Corte de Justicia de la Nación), which is the highest court in the land.
- The Federal Judiciary Council (Consejo de la Judicatura Federal), which oversees the federal courts and administrative matters related to the judiciary.
This structure reflects the separation of powers and the checks and balances system in the Mexican government.
