Speaking from a US standpoint:
1. The legislature makes laws
2. The courts make judgements based on those laws
3. The police officers drag people into jail
All 3 are part of the government.

- Veen 4y agoHere’s the relevant part to this thread from the page you linked: “The justice system is one of the three branches of the state. The other two branches are the executive, or the government, and the legislature, which is the two Houses of Parliament”
- martinflack 4y agoIn the UK, "the Government" is a phrase more akin to "the x Administration" (where x is the President) in the US; although technically it includes the parliamentary majority as well as the executive.
