The Governor represents the King of the Netherlands, King Willem Alexander, on Sint Maarten and is as such the head of the government of St. Maarten.

As head of government the Governor is immune and the ministers are responsible. The Governor together with the ministers forms the Government of Sint Maarten and as such exercises executive powers.

The two main tasks of Parliament are:
- To act as co-legislator (article 82 of the Constitution).
- To exercise control over Government's policies.
