Government is a system of governing a state or community. It is an organization or group of individuals elected by the people who work for the welfare of the people. The government takes decisions, makes laws, enforces the laws, and penalizes individuals or groups that go against the laws. The roles, responsibilities, and duties of a government include building roads and schools, reducing and fixing prices of essential commodities, supplying electricity, preparing and implementing several programs to help the poor, running postal and railway services, protecting the boundaries of the country, and maintaining peaceful relations with other countries. The government affects our daily life in many ways, such as supplying water and electricity, laying, maintaining and repairing roads, providing a good public transport system, guaranteeing proper internal security, and ensuring the proper functioning of its various administrations. The government works at the local, state, and national levels. There are different types of government, such as democracy and monarchy. The former is where people elect the government through their right to vote in elections, and the government is held responsible for its actions. The latter is headed by a monarch who has the final decision-making power, and the monarch is not responsible for any of his/her actions.
