Abstract: Identifying the executive, its structure, determining its

relationship with the legislative and with t he judicial power, identifying the

election, designation and appointment procedure for the members of the

executive, can be done by determining, based on the constitutional norms of

the various states, the political regime establishing the organisation and

functioning of its powers. It is also necessary to mention the fact that from

the point of view of the form of government, each state has distinctive

features with regard to the organising and functioning of powers in the state,

to the relationships between them, on the one hand, as well as to the

executive, on the other hand.

Key words: executive, political regime, terminology, form of government.

Explaining as correctly as possible what

the executive implies and the terminology

used by the constitutional lawmakers in

various states is also possible starting from

the form of government, but especially

from the political regime established by

constitutional provisions, also taking into

account the essential role often held by the

executive, particularly by the government,

in the relationship between legislative and

executive.

Therefore, the inability to talk about a

political regime pattern imposed the need

for certain classifications of the various

types of political regimes able to indicate

as close to the existing political and

constitutional reality as possible, the way

in which power is exercised.

As pointed out in the literature as well,

although certain political regimes present

the main features of a particular type of

regime and they are characterized by a

relative stability of their institutions, a

perfect and final classification of the

various political regimes cannot be made.

At best, their key elements can be

identified, based on which value

distinctions can be established between

these regimes, such as the organization of

the state, namely the organization of
