Mexican government theoretically has much in common with the United States.

Unlike the U.S., the judiciary has played a minor role in Mexico's politics.

As with the U.S. government, Mexican government is divided into three branches executive, legislative, and judicial. In Mexico, however, the executive branch dominates the other branches to such an extent that the country effectively has a political system that is controlled by its president. For most of the 20th century, only one political party, the government-controlled Institutional Revolutionary Party (PRI), played an influential role in politics or in the decision-making process.

The president is elected by direct popular vote, every six years and cannot be reelected. Every person, a farmer or a counter person working in a Mexican pharmacy is encouraged to vote. Presidents acquire tremendous authority because they also control the selection of candidates in their party for elective office at the national level.

The Chamber of Deputies and the Senate make up Mexico's bicameral legislative body. Members of the 500-member Chamber of Deputies are elected for three-year terms, 300 of them from single-member districts, just as in the United States House of Representatives, and 200 on the basis of a complex formula related to the percentage of votes cast for each party's candidates. The 128-member Senate is elected every six years in the Mexican government infrastructure.

The organization of local Mexican government is somewhat similar to that of local government in the United States. Mexico has 31 states and the Federal District, where the national capital of Mexico City is located. An elected governor, who serves a six-year term, administers each state.
