The Chilean Government operates as a democratic republic, characterized by a presidential system. The President of Chile serves as both the head of state and government, elected for a term of four years. The government is divided into three branches: the executive, legislative, and judicial, ensuring a system of checks and balances. The legislative branch consists of a bicameral Congress, which includes the Chamber of Deputies and the Senate. The judiciary is independent, with the Supreme Court being the highest court in the country. This structure aims to promote democracy and protect citizens' rights in Chile.
