The Government of Ecuador is structured into three branches, each with distinct powers and responsibilities. These branches operate independently but are designed to work in harmony to ensure a system of checks and balances. Here are the three branches of the government in Ecuador:

1. Executive Branch:
  -Head: The Constitutional President of Ecuador is the head of the Executive branch and serves as both the head of state and government.
  -Functions: The Executive branch is responsible for implementing and enforcing laws. The President, along with the Vice President and ministers, leads various ministries and government agencies. The President is also the Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces.

2. Legislative Branch:
  - Body: The National Assembly of Ecuador constitutes the legislative branch.
  -Functions: The National Assembly is responsible for making laws, approving the national budget, and overseeing the actions of the Executive branch. It is a unicameral body with members elected by the public. The National Assembly has the authority to elect the President and Vice President.

3. Judicial Branch:
  -Body: The Judicial branch is headed by the National Court of Justice.
  -Functions: The Judicial branch is responsible for interpreting and applying the law. It ensures justice is administered fairly and independently. The National Court of Justice is the highest court in Ecuador. The judiciary also includes lower courts and specialized tribunals.

These three branches operate in accordance with the principles of separation of powers and checks and balances. This system is designed to prevent the concentration of power in one branch and to ensure that each branch can monitor and limit the actions of the others. Additionally, the Constitution of Ecuador outlines the specific powers and limitations of each branch to maintain a stable and democratic governance structure.
