== Government and Politics ==
Since 1909 and the establishment of the Republic;, Mexico has been a liberal democracy that operates under a semi-presidential system with a president as head of the state elected by a national vote every 7 years and a prime minister elected by the upper house of the legislature (the Mexican Senate) and approved by the lower house (the Mexican congress of provinces). The Mexican legislature is bicameral with the upper house being elected proportionally (with terms of 3 years) and the lower house being comprised of 3 representatives appointed by each provincial government.
 
There is a separation of powers between the Mexican President and Mexican Prime Minister with the prime minister and their appointed council of ministers having authority over internal executive affairs and the president having authority over the military and foreign affairs. This system of power sharing was created during the [[Mexican constitutional crisis of 1909]] to avoid concentrating power in the hand of one leader; this was likely a reaction to the Imperial period's system of near absolute power vested in the emperor.
