It consists of legislative, executive, and judicial subdivisions, as well as a Head of State, or President.
Article 1 of the Italian Constitution states: Italy is a democratic Republic founded on labour. ]]> 2019-02-18 19:46:27 UTC https://padlet.com/baldassarre_lucrezia/u5dkjrugroz/wish/332443442 EXECUTIVE BRANCH baldassarre_lucrezia https://padlet.com/baldassarre_lucrezia/u5dkjrugroz/wish/332444544 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. In any event, 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.
The Prime Minister can be ousted with a vote of no confidence, at which point the President can either appoint a new Prime Minister capable of forming a government with the support of Parliament, or dissolve Parliament and call for new elections . In the history of the Italian Republic, there have been nineteen legislatures (including the Constituent Assembly), forty-three consecutive premierships, and sixty-five different cabinets.]]> 2019-02-18 19:50:17 UTC https://padlet.com/baldassarre_lucrezia/u5dkjrugroz/wish/332444544 LEGISLATIVE BRANCH baldassarre_lucrezia https://padlet.com/baldassarre_lucrezia/u5dkjrugroz/wish/332444744 2019-02-18 19:50:51 UTC https://padlet.com/baldassarre_lucrezia/u5dkjrugroz/wish/332444744 JUDICIAL BRANCH baldassarre_lucrezia https://padlet.com/baldassarre_lucrezia/u5dkjrugroz/wish/332445068 The Constitution states that justice is administered in the name of the people and that judges are subject only to the law. 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 .
The Italian judicial system is based on Roman law, the Napoleonic code and later statutes.
Judicial review exists under certain conditions, established by the Constitutional Law, in the Constitutional Court, or Corte Costituzionale, which can reject anti-constitutional laws after scrutiny. 
The Constitutional Court is composed of 15 judges, one of which is the President of the Italian Constitutional Court elected from the court itself. One third of the judges are appointed by the President of the Italian Republic, one-third are elected by Parliament and one-third are elected by the ordinary and administrative supreme courts. The Constitutional Court passes on the constitutionality of laws.
The court generally only has the power of judicial review over "laws and enactments having force of law issued by the State and Regions"and does not have the power to review administration acts and regulations, or parliamentary rules.
