European Commission

Definition

The European Commission is an institution of the European Union responsible for proposing legislation, implementing decisions, upholding treaties and managing day-to-day operations.

Analogy

Consider the European Commission as your school administration - they propose new rules (like dress codes), implement them (by ensuring students follow them), uphold existing policies (like anti-bullying measures), and manage daily operations (like scheduling classes).

Executive Branch: This is part of government that has responsibility for implementing, or executing, laws and running government affairs - just like our school administration analogy!

Legislation Proposal: This refers to suggesting new laws or changes to existing ones - much like proposing new rules at school.

Treaty Enforcement: A treaty is an agreement between countries; enforcing them means making sure all parties stick to their commitments - kind of like ensuring everyone follows agreed-upon group project guidelines.
