The legislature is the Federal Assembly, divided into the Federation Council and State Duma. The Federation Council has two representatives from each state that are appointed, while the State Duma has 450 members directly elected by the people. It controls the budget and lawmaking. The president has the most power as both head of state and head of government, selected through direct elections.
