The Constitution of Greece, describes the country as a parliamentary republic , grants extensive specific guarantees of civil liberties and vests the powers of the head of state in a President elected by parliament for a five-year term.The Greek governmental structure is similar to that found in many Western democracies, and has been described as a compromise between the French and German models. The Prime Ministerand cabinet play the central role in the political process, while the President performs some executive and legislative functions in addition to ceremonial duties.The Prime Minister of Greece is the head of government, and Executive power is exercised by that government. Legislative power is vested in both the government and the Hellenic Parliament. The Judiciary is independent of the executive and the legislature and comprises three Supreme Courts: the Court of Cassation, the Council of State and the Court of Auditors. The Judiciary system is also composed of civil courts, which judge civil and penal cases and administrative courts, which judge administrative cases, namely disputes between the citizens and the State.Greece elects a legislature by universal suffrage of all citizens over the age of 18. The Hellenic Parliament (Vouli ton Ellinon) has 300 members, elected for a four-year term.

The Greeks were one of the first civilizations as we have come to define the term. This society produced a large number of free-thinking philosophers given the over-all population of the day. These philosophers did a lot of religious, political and societal 'navel gazing' and worked at finding the answers to cosmic questions and working out solutions to many questions they raised. Some of these philosophies produced different forms of governments at a time when Greece was simply a string of city-states and not a single political/demographic entity.
