The government of Hanover has evolved over the history of the kingdom, adapting to suit the needs of the time. The institutions of Parliament and the monarchy, however, have been a constant presence.

The Hanoverian system of government is based on the executive and legislative power of the Prime Minister and Parliament, from which he is chosen. The monarch retains a large degree of influence over national policy and direction, and acts as a unifying and guiding force in Hanoverian politics.

The Constitution of Bergen was adopted on the 18th of October 2004, after being accepted in a national referendum and a Parliamentary vote. The new constitution created a House of Lords, and unified all the members of the Commonwealth.
