The **Mexican Government** is a federal republic consisting of 31 states and Mexico City, operating under a constitutional framework established by the 1917 Constitution. Its powers are divided among three branches: the executive, legislative, and judicial. The president, elected for a single six-year term without re-election, heads the executive branch, appointing key officials including cabinet members, Supreme Court justices, and military leaders. The bicameral Congress comprises the Senate and the Chamber of Deputies, with senators serving six-year terms and deputies three years; recent reforms allow some legislative re-election. The government has historically been executive-dominant, but legislative power has grown since the late 20th century[1][2].

Constitutional reforms in 2025 introduced popular elections for judges, raising concerns about judicial autonomy. The criminal justice system struggles with inefficiency and human rights abuses, including widespread torture and low prosecution rates[3][5][8][9]. On the economic front, the government launched the "Plan México" in early 2025, a public-private partnership strategy aimed at boosting economic growth through infrastructure investment, regulatory reform, and promotion of domestic products via the "Made in Mexico" brand. This plan includes digitalization laws and efforts to increase financing access for small and medium enterprises (SMEs). Despite challenges in governance and security, Mexico maintains moderate public trust in government institutions and continues to be a key player in regional trade agreements like USMCA[4][6][7][10].
