Hi there!
The answer you are looking for is: carry out the laws.
One classification of government is based on the relationship between lawmakers and the people who carry out the laws.
In addition to that classification, there are two other ways to classify the government. The first one is by the number of people who are allowed to take part in the running of the government. The second one is by the way the state divides government power geographically.
Hope this helps!
