10 Downing Street. Government departments are the main instruments
for giving effect to government policy. The principal departments are the
Treasury, the Foreign Office and the Home office.

7. JUDICIAL POWER
The judicial power is exercised by the Law Courts, which are divided into
Criminal Courts and Civil Courts.
The British Constitution is characterized by the absence of a complete
written code (it takes from Magna Charta). In fact the main sources of
English law are common law and legislation.

8. THE SEPARATION OF POWERS
Politics of Italy is conducted through a constitutional republic with a multi-party
system. Italy has been a democratic republic since 2 June 1946, when
the monarchy was abolished by popular referendum and promulgated on 1
January 1948.
The EXECUTIVE is exercised collectively by the Council of Ministers, which is
led by the Prime Minister, officially referred to as President of the Council.
The LESIGLATIVE is vested in the two houses of parliament primarily, and
secondarily on the Council of Ministers, which can introduce bills and holds
the majority in the parliament.
The JUDICIARY is independent of the executive and the legislative branches. It
is headed by the High Council of the Judiciary. The President is the head of
state, though his position is separate from all branches.

9. LEGISLATIVE POWER
CHAMBER OF DEPUTIES SENATE
The Chamber of Deputies is elected
by direct and universal suffrage
by voters who are eighteen or older.
There are 630 deputies, twelve of which are
elected in the overseas
constituencies. All voters who are twenty-
five or older on election day are eligible to
be deputies.
The Senate is elected by direct and universal
suffrage by voters who are twenty-five or
older. There are 315 senators, six of whom
are elected in the overseas
constituencies. There are also a number
of senators for life, such as former
Presidents and up to five citizens appointed
by the President for having brought honor to
the nation with their achievements.
All voters who are forty or older on election
day are eligible to be senators. According to a
recent law, the Senate will cont only 100
members, chosen by the Regions
The Parliament has a bicameral system, and consists of the Chamber of deputies and
the Senate, elected every five years.

10. EXECUTIVE POWER
The Constitution establishes the Government of Italy as composed of the
President of the Council (Prime Minister) and Ministers. The President of
Italy appoints the Prime Minister and, on his proposal, the Ministers that form
its cabinet. The appointee is usually the leader of the majority coalition that
won the election but it can also be a person instructed by the President to
form a national unity government in times of crisis for the nation. Either way,
the government must receive the confidence of both Houses, so the
Executive derives its legitimacy from the Parliament and the great
number of political parties forces the Prime Minister to bend to their will. If
the majority coalition no longer supports the government, the Prime
Minister can be ousted with a vote of no confidence, and a new government
must be formed, or new elections scheduled.

11. JUDICIAL POWER
The JUDICIARY is a branch that is completely autonomous and
independent of all other branches of power, even though the Minister of
Justice is responsible for the organization and functioning of those
services involved with justice.
It has the power to originate disciplinary actions against judges, which are
then administered by the Consiglio Superiore della Magistratura,
presided over by the President.
