What are the Three Branches of Government ?
The Constitution
created the three branches of the national government: a legislature, the
bicameral congress; an executive branch led by the president; and a judicial
branch headed by the Supreme Court. The Constitution specifies the powers and
duties of each branch; the constitution also reserves all powers to the
respective states and the people. Talking about the constitution the
constitution got started in 1787, and the first ten amendments are called The
Bill of Rights.
The Legislative Branch
The legislative branch writes Laws on a bill, so that they can be sent to the senator & so on then finally to the president. Not only do they write the laws on bills they also write bills period. There are two groups of this branch they are senators and representatives; they are required 100 senators and 435 representatives which gives us 535 total. Senators serve for 6 years, presidents can serve for two year terms, and a representative serves for 2 years.
The Executive Branch!
The executive branch has the president, vice president, and all the others; such as the cabinet members. There are 43 presidents and 14 cabinet positions. Let’s see if you can get this, what mountain has the 4 former presidents on it? Mount Rushmore. The four former presidents are George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Theodore Roosevelt and Abraham Lincoln. There are many agencies that are also connected to this branch, and the president is responsible for appointing the cabinet. Theodore Roosevelt was our former president & named the white house “The White House.” Roosevelt must have been so famous because there were three presidents with the last name of Roosevelt.
The Judicial Branch
The judicial branch of government is made up of the court system.
The Supreme Court is the highest court in the land.
Courts decide arguments about the meaning of laws, how they are applied,
and whether they break the rules of the Constitution.
