They are free to govern themselves according to their own laws; each state has a constitution that cannot contradict the federal constitution, which covers issues of national competence. The states cannot make alliances with other states or any independent nation without the consent of the whole federation, except those related to defense and security arrangements necessary to keep the border states secure in the event of an invasion. The political organization of each state is based on a separation of powers in a congressional system: <a href="/wiki/Legislative_power" class="mw-redirect" title="Legislative power">legislative power</a> is vested in a unicameral congress (the federal congress has two chambers), <a href="/wiki/Executive_power" class="mw-redirect" title="Executive power">executive power</a> is independent of the legislature and vested in a governor elected by <a href="/wiki/Universal_suffrage" title="Universal suffrage">universal suffrage</a>, and <a href="/wiki/Judicial_power" class="mw-redirect" title="Judicial power">judicial power</a> is vested in a <a href="/wiki/Court" title="Court">Superior Court of Justice</a>.

Two are elected by universal suffrage on the principle of relative majority and one is assigned to the party that obtains the largest minority. In addition, the federation makes up a constituency in which 32 senators are elected by the method of <a href="/wiki/Proportional_representation" title="Proportional representation">proportional representation</a>.
