 Government and History (from Zimbabwe) --  Britannica Student Encyclopedia
Zimbabwe is a multiparty state—an independent republic with the president as head of state and a parliament consisting of a unicameral, 150-member House of Assembly.
The word government is derived from a Greek verb meaning “to pilot a ship.” It is a fitting derivation, since, in metaphorical terms, it is the responsibility of government to steer the “ship of state.” Governments have been a part of human history for thousands of years.
The executive branch of government is so named because it executes, or carries out, the laws and policies laid down by the legislative, or law-making, branch.
