Concept in Definition ABC

The word govern has a recurring use in our language and we use it especially when we want to express handling with authority and the direction that someone exerts on something.

Meanwhile, it is in the scope of politicswhere the word govern is mostly mentioned since it precisely refers to the command that an individual exercises in a nation thanks to the authority conferred by a legislative body, or by the decision of the people through the vote. All the actions that, for example, a president of a country performs in the execution of his office imply the action of governing.

Meanwhile, it is generally referred to as government To that authority that has the mission of directing the political destinies of a country, controlling it and manage all state organs. Now, that authority that we mentioned may be embodied by a president, as indicated above and in presidential systems or by a Prime Minister as in parliamentary monarchies, among others.

It is precisely to that authority that the Magna Carta o

Constitution of the state confers the power to govern, and by case, exercises the executive power and political of the society in question.

It should be noted that the government should not be confused with the state, since the state is embodied by the political, social and economic organization of a territory and that it is made up of various bodies and institutions, while the government is exercised by individuals who belong to a political group and who once they fulfill their mandate leave the government. And this is the main difference, that the government changes and the state does not, it remains.

But as we said at the beginning, the word govern has other uses beyond the political one and then through it it is possible to express the following questions and actions: guide; lead (Mario rules the club team); manage and exercise dominion over another individual (my father rules everyone at home); when a vessel of any size obeys the rudder (this ship is easy to steer, you'll see); and being guided by a rule or ruleIf you do not rule the class with authority, they will not listen to you).
