Abstract
It has been my purpose to describe the various branches of government of Delaware in order to present an overall picture of how the State of Delaware functions as a part of our national government to benefit its citizens. ☐ In order to comprehend more clearly Delaware's role as one of the forty-eight states and her relationship to the national government, a description of the important branches of the Federal Government has preceded the state government of Delaware. ☐ Besides explaining the organization, powers, and duties of the Delaware Legislative, Executive and Judicial branches and their officers, I have also attempted to describe Delaware's methods of governing its counties and municipalities. A brief history of Political Parties and how they operate in Delaware, plus a description and explanation of the election system in Delaware have been included.
