[AdServersite]

The three branches of government in the United States are:

1. Legislative Branch – Makes laws
   • Consists of Congress, which has two parts:
     • Senate (100 members, 2 per state)
     • House of Representatives (435 members, based on state population)
   • Controls federal spending, declares war, and can impeach officials.
2. Executive Branch – Enforces laws
   • Led by the President, who is the Commander-in-Chief of the military.
   • Includes the Vice President, Cabinet, and federal agencies (e.g., FBI, CIA).
   • Signs or vetoes bills, conducts foreign policy, and oversees the federal government.
3. Judicial Branch – Interprets laws
   • Led by the Supreme Court, which has nine justices.
   • Includes lower federal courts (Courts of Appeals, District Courts).
   • Can declare laws or executive actions unconstitutional (judicial review).

Each branch has a system of checks and balances to prevent any one branch from becoming too powerful.
