NZ also uses the system of ‘responsible government’. This means that the Governmentgovernment can only be made up if the ministers are elected members from the House of Representatives.

Our system of government works by cooperating with three separate branches that are under the title of the government. This power makes sure that the branchesone branch will not rule over another branch.

The House of Representatives is where every MP sits and includes the selected committees. This is runnedrun by the country's government and makes wise decisions on how New Zealand's money is spent.

The Judiciary iscomprises the judges of the courts. Judges hear and decide in courts,; by doing this, they are able to putenforce new and improved laws in NZ.

New Zealand's government is a government elected by the people. It runs on the principle of democracy. The three different branches of the government keep a check on each other.
