The three branches of government are:
- Legislative Branch - This branch is responsible for making laws and is composed of Congress, which includes the House of Representatives and the Senate.
- Executive Branch - This branch is responsible for carrying out and enforcing laws. It includes the President, Vice President, the Cabinet, and various federal agencies.
- Judicial Branch - This branch interprets the laws and is made up of the Supreme Court and other federal courts.
These branches are designed to ensure a separation of powers so that no one branch has too much power. They also have checks and balances to monitor and limit the powers of the other branches. For example, the President can veto legislation, Congress confirms or rejects presidential nominees, and the Supreme Court can overturn unconstitutional laws.
