• Turkey's constitution governs the legal framework of the country. It sets out the main principles of government and establishes Turkey as a unitary centralized state.
• The head of state is the President of the Republic and has a largely ceremonial role. The president is elected for a five-year term by direct elections.
• Executive power is exercised by the Prime Minister and the Council of Ministers which make up the government, while the legislative power is vested in the unicameral parliament, the Grand National Assembly of Turkey.
• The judiciary is independent of the executive and the legislature, and the Constitutional Court is charged with ruling on the conformity of laws and decrees with the constitution.
• The Council of State is the tribunal of last resort for administrative cases, and the High Court of Appeals for all others.
• The prime minister is elected by the parliament through a vote of confidence in the government and is most often the head of the party having the most seats in parliament.
• Universal suffrage for both sexes has been applied throughout Turkey since 1933, and every Turkish citizen who has turned 18 years of age has the right to vote.
• As of 2004, there were 50 registered political parties in the country.
• The Constitutional Court can strip the public financing of political parties that it deems anti-secular or separatist, or ban their existence altogether.
