Government is an organization that takes decisions and makes laws for the citizens of a country. It is responsible for the welfare of the people and works at different levels: local, state, and national. The government affects our daily life in various ways, such as building roads and schools, reducing and fixing prices of essential commodities, supplying electricity, and running postal and railway services. The roles, responsibilities, and duties of a government include protecting the boundaries of the country, maintaining peaceful relations with other countries, and implementing several programs to help the poor. The types of government include democracy, monarchy, and dictatorship. The laws laid down by the government for the proper functioning of the country are called laws. The government also takes action on many social issues, such as discrimination, and there are steps that people can take if they feel that a particular law is not being followed.
