A Government is the body within a community, political entity or organization which has the authority to make and enforce rules, laws and regulations.. Typically, the term "government" refers to a civil government or sovereign state which can be either local, national, or international. However, commercial, academic, religious, or other formal organizations are also governed by internal bodies. Such bodies may be called boards of directors, managers, or governors or they may be known as the administration (as in schools) or councils of elders (as in churches). The size of governments can vary by region or purpose. Growth of an organization advances the complexity of its government, therefore small towns or small-to-medium privately-operated enterprises will have fewer officials than typically larger organizations such as multinational corporations which tend to have multiple interlocking, hierarchical layers of administration and governance. As complexity increases and the nature of governance becomes more complicated, so does the need for formal policies and procedures. From Wikipedia under the

I know that the government is given power to coin money in the constitution. But it doesn't say anything about them being the sole issuer of money, or does it? Where does the government get its power from, as per the constitution, to monopolize money.

I know that Norway is a constitutional Monarchy, but is this like the U.K, where the royal family are effectively figureheads, or do the monarchy of Norway retain power?

The Monarch, like the UK is a figurehead and the real power rests with the Prime minister and the government. One major difference is that the make up is more akin to the American system than the British. There is an executive made up of the Prime minister and Government Ministers (regjering). These do not sit in the legislature (storting) which is the equivalent of parliament. There is also a Judicial branch (the courts) and these are again independent, unlike in the UK where they sit as part of the legislature. The government is selected by obtaining a majority in the Storting, or at least the support of the Storting, so unlike the US the government almost always has the support of the legislature, in this way it's more like the UK.… [cont.] Answered by Cheesesof Nazerath - Wed Jul 15 02:18:03 2009 What Action Has The Government Taken To Help With The Recession?
