I see confusion crop up here around the term government every now and then. In America, we have our 3 branches (executive, legislative, and judicial) and we call the collection of all 3 the "government" whereas in general I think Europe uses the word "state" for that.
- luckylion 6y agoYeah, for general use, EU "government" is best translated as US "administration", I believe. A lot of people don't include the judiciary when they say "the state", I believe as the courts are independent and serve as a controlling instance that should (in theory) reign in the state when it oversteps.
