Pennsylvania Government

How state government works

The Government of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania is very similar in structure to the Federal Government:

  • Executive Branch (Includes the Governor and Lt. Governor, and includes all cabinet positions)
  • Legislative Branch (General Assembly consisting of a Senate with 50 members, and a House of Representatives
  • Judicial Branch (Pennsylvania Supreme Court, Commonwealth Court, Courts of Common Pleas to local Municipal Courts)
