-As with all other Cartadanian states and the federal government, Alexandria's government is based on the separation of legislative, executive, and judicial power. Executive authority in the state rests with the {{wp|governor}}. Both the [[Governor of Alexandria]] and [[Lieutenant governor of Alexandria|lieutenant governor]] are elected on separate ballots to four-year terms of office, limited to two terms. Most of the executive officials that comprise the governor's cabinet are elected by the citizens of Alexandria rather than being appointed by the governor.
+Alexandria, like all other Cartadanian states and the federal government, adheres to a system of government that is based on the separation of legislative, executive, and judicial power. The executive authority in the state is vested in the [[Governor of Alexandria|governor]], who is elected alongside the [[Lieutenant Governor of Alexandria|lieutenant governor]], both on separate ballots to four-year terms of office, though they are not term-limited. However, unlike other states where the governor appoints executive officials, most of the executive officials in Alexandria are elected by the citizens of the state, similar to the [[government of Milan]].
-Legislative authority resides in the [[Alexandria General Assembly]], composed of the [[Senate of Alexandria|Senate]] and the [[Domus Alexandriae]]. The Lieutenant Governor presides over the state's senate, while members of the Domus Alexandriae select their own speaker. The Alexandria Constitution sets the number of senators at 80, each of whom is elected from single-member districts. It also mandates a minimum of 120 representatives, apportioned among the representative districts. The state currently sits at the legally defined number of 80 senators and 120 representatives, each of whom serves two-year terms with no limit. The state's laws are codified as the Code of Alexandria. The basis of law in Cartadania draws heavily from the legal system of Alexandria, with many laws between the two being nearly identical.
+The legislative branch of government in Alexandria is the [[Alexandria General Assembly|General Assembly]], comprising the [[Senate of Alexandria|Senate]] and the [[Domus Alexandriae]]. The Lieutenant Governor presides over the state's senate, while members of the Domus Alexandriae select their own speaker, known as the Orator Princeps. The [[Constitution of Alexandria]] sets the number of senators at 80, with each senator being elected from single-member districts. The constitution also mandates a minimum of 120 representatives, apportioned among the representative districts. Currently, Alexandria has the legally defined number of 80 senators and 120 representatives, with each of them serving two-year terms with no limit. The state's laws are codified as the [[Code of Alexandria]], which draws heavily from the legal system of Verona.
-Alexandria's judges and justices who make up the state's judicial system are elected by a majority vote in both the Domus and Senate without input from the governor, one of the ways Alexandria's legislature has more power than its executive. Judicial authority rests with the [[Supreme Court of Alexandria]]. In addition, there are smaller courts that have more limited geographical jurisdiction, including Circuit Courts, the trial courts of general jurisdiction, and the lower Superior Courts, which house Juvenile and Domestic Relations Courts and General District Courts. The Supreme Court has seven justices who serve twelve-year terms, with a mandatory retirement age of 75. The supreme court selects its own Chief Justice from among its seven justices, who is limited to no more than a twelve-year term as Chief.

+The government of Alexandria is designed to ensure that no single branch of government has too much power. The system of checks and balances allows for each branch of government to keep an eye on the others, and ensures that no one branch becomes too dominant. The power of the government is ultimately derived from the people, who elect their representatives to serve in government and hold them accountable for their actions.
