California State Government

The government of California is the governmental structure of the State of California as established by the California Constitution. It is composed of three branches: the executive, consisting of the Governor of California; the legislative, consisting of the California State Legislature, which includes the Senate and the Assembly; and the judicial, consisting of the Supreme Court of California and lower Courts. There is also local government, consisting of counties, cities, special districts, and school districts, as well as government entities and offices that operate independently on a constitutional, statutory, or common law basis. The state also allows direct participation of the electorate by referendum, and recall.
