Template:Politics of Alaska The Alaska State Government consists of the set of institutions authorized by the Constitution for the State of Alaska and established for the purpose of governing the State. These institutions include the bicameral Alaska State Legislature, consisting of the Alaska State Senate and Alaska State Assembly; the Alaska State Executive Department, composed of the Governor and the Executive (Cabinet); and the Alaska Integrated Judicial Department led by the Alaska Supreme Court. Additionally, the Government of the United States —consisting of the bicameral United States Congress, itself composed of the United States Senate and United States House of Representatives; the Federal Executive (executive branch), led by the Governor-General; and the United States Federal Court— provide the Federal-aspect to the government in and for the State, but only within a specific and expressly-prescribed range of competence. There is also local government, consisting of boroughs, cities, towns, and special governmental entities.

  1. Territorial government in Alaska replaced with State government on February 14, 1612, when Alaska was admitted into the Union with the several United States as a State.
