Head of government - Types and titles of Head of Government
The most common style for a head of government is "Prime Minister." It is not only used as a formal title, but often also, more informally, as a generic term to describe the head of government, who is formally the first amongst the "ministers" (Latin for servants, i.e. subordinates) of an otherwise styled head of state, who may be a political superior or a merely ceremonial precedence. Various constitutions use different titles, or a single titles covers different constitutional profiles.
Head of government - As political chief
In addition to Prime Minister, titles used for the modern model which also includes a legislative branch checking the chief executive include:
- Chancellor and variations such as Bundeskanzler (federal Chancellor)
- Chief Minister
- First Minister
- Head of the Government
- Minister-President
- Premier
- President of the Cabinet
- President of the Council of Ministers
- President of the Council of State
- President of the Executive Council
- Chairman of the Executive Council
- President of the Government
- State President
- Lehendakari
- Statsminister
- Taoiseach
- Chief Principal
Head of government - Under a dominant head of state
In a broader sense, "Prime Minister" can be used loosely to refer to various comparable positions in which the Head of State is an absolute monarch. (This is especially the case in ancient or feudal eras, so the term "Prime Minister" in this case could be considered an anachronism.) In this case, the "Prime Minister" serves at the pleasure of the monarch and holds no more power then the Monarch allows. In some cases a disgraced prime minister can even be executed for his failure. Some such styles are:
- Diwan
- Mahamantri
- Ministro e Secretário de Estado dos Negócios do Reino (Brazil), became from 12 October 1822, Ministro e Secretário de Estado dos Negócios do Império
- Pradhan
- Wasir or Grand Vizier
Head of government - Weak head of state
In other cases, the head of state is a figurehead while the head of government is the de facto ruler. In some cases a head of government may even pass on the title in hereditary fashion. Such titles include the following:
- Mayor of the Palace of the Merovingian kingdoms
- Nawab wasir ?Awadh
- Peshwa
- Shogun in the empire of Japan
- Sultan in the original case of the Seljuk Turks who made the Caliphs of Baghdad their puppets; later both styles were often used for absolute rulers in Nepal
Head of government - Heads of State as Head of Government
In some models the head of state and head of government are one and the same. These include:
- Executive President
- Absolutist Monarch reigning without a Prime minister (or nominating himself)
- Chief Magistrate
- Führer-model (but not always).
An alternative formula is a single chief political body (e.g. presidium) which collectively leads the government and provides (e.g. by turns) the ceremonial head of state See Head of State for further explanation of these cases.
