The Government of Great Britain .

In theory, the constitution has three branches: Parliament which makes law, the Government, which "executes" law, i. e. puts them into effect and the Law Courts, which interpret laws. Although the Queen is officially head of all three branches, she has little direct power.

Parliament has two parts: the House of Commons and the House of Lords. Members of the House of Commons are elected by the voters of 650 constituencies. They are known as MPs, or Members of Parliament. The Prime Minister, or leader of the Government is also a MP, usually the leader of the political party with a majority in the House of Commons, The Prime Minister is advised by a Cabinet of about twenty other ministers. The Cabinet includes the ministers in charge of major government departments or ministries.

The House of Lord consists of the Lords Temporal and the Lords Spiritual. The Lords Spiritual are the Archbishops of York and Canterbury together with twenty-four senior bishops of Church of England. The Lord Temporal consist of the hereditary peers who have inherited their titles; life peers who are appointed by the Queen on the advice of the Government, for various services to the nation; and the Lords of Appeal (Law Lords) who become life peers on their judicial appointments. The latter serve the House of Lords as the ultimate court of appeal. This appeal court consists of some nine lords who hold senior judicial office. They are presided over by the Lord Chancellor and they form a quorum of three to live when they hear appeal cases.
