India has a parliamentary system as defined by its constitution, with power distributed between the union government and the states. India's democracy is the largest in the world. The President of India is the ceremonial head of state of the country and supreme commander-in-chief for all defense forces in India, after a President is chosen by the Lok Sabha's government, the President becomes a partyless person. They are usually from the Lok Sabha's(Lower house of the Parliament) leading party. However, it is the Prime Minister of India who is the leader of the party or political alliance having a majority in the national elections to the Lok Sabha. Prime Minister is the leader of the legislative branch of the Government of India. The Prime Minister is the head of the Union Council of Ministers. India is regionally divided into States (and Union Territories) and each State has a Governor who is the state's head, but the executive authority rests with the Chief Minister, who is the leader of the party or political alliance that has won a majority in the regional elections, otherwise known as State Assembly Elections that exercises executive powers in that State. The respective State's Chief Minister has executive powers within the State and works jointly with the Prime Minister of India or their ministers on matters that require both State and Central attention. Some Union Territories also elect an Assembly and have a territorial government, and other (mainly smaller) Union Territories are governed by an administrator/lieutenant governor appointed by the President of India. The President of India oversees the rule of law via their appointed governors, who can temporarily assume control of the State's executive on their advice. This occurs when elected officials fail to maintain peace, leading to chaos. If needed, the President can dissolve the current State government and call for new elections. The Republic of India has instituted universal suffrage since independence from the British Raj, with the adoption of the Constitution of India in 1949.
