Minister (government) Totally Explained

Everything about Minister Government totally explained

A minister or a secretary is a politician who holds significant public office in a national or regional government. Senior ministers are members of the cabinet, usually led by a monarch, governor-general, or president. In constitutional monarchies the sovereign or vice-regal, and in semi-presidential countries the president, is principally advised by a prime minister.

Origin

The term Minister is an Middle English phrase, stemming from the Old French word ministre, originally minister in Latin, meaning 'servant' . In some countries (such as the U.S., Hong Kong, the Philippines and the UK), such a person can instead be known as a secretary. The term was and is still also used in diplomacy for second level diplomats (heads of legations).

Selection

In many parliamentary systems of government, especially those using the Westminster system, such as the United Kingdom, Canada and Australia, ministers must be selected from the legislature. In presidential systems of government such as the United States and Mexico, ministers are appointed by the president, not drawn from the legislature.
