GOVERNMENT VS ADMINISTRATION

Government is distinct from administration. Government is the agency which formulates, expresses and realizes the will of the people. On the other hand, administration is composed of group of persons in whose hands the reins of government are for the time being. It is the administration that runs the affairs of the government for a given period of time, after which another administration may be called upon by the people to serve them. That is why we say that administration changes but the government does not.
