The West Virginia State Government is responsible for managing the affairs of the state of West Virginia. It operates under a framework established by the West Virginia Constitution, which outlines the structure and powers of the government. The government is divided into three branches: the Executive, led by the Governor, the Legislative, consisting of the West Virginia Legislature, and the Judicial, which includes various courts. The West Virginia Legislature is a bicameral body made up of the House of Delegates and the State Senate. The legislature is responsible for creating laws, while the governor enforces them. The judicial branch interprets laws and ensures justice through the court system, maintaining a balance of power among the branches.
