The Government of Spain operates as a parliamentary constitutional monarchy, where the King serves as the head of state and the Prime Minister is the head of government. The government is divided into three branches: the executive, legislative, and judicial. The Cortes Generales, which consists of the Congress of Deputies and the Senate, is responsible for making laws. Spain's government is responsible for implementing policies and managing public services. It is organized into various ministries, each headed by a minister, overseeing areas such as health, education, and finance. The government also works with autonomous communities that have their own local governments and varying degrees of legislative power.
