3 Branches Of Government

The Constitution works because it created a government that was both strong and flexible. It tells what the government should be doing with the 3 branches. The Constitution keeps everyone’s rights and keeps everyone equal. The laws are fair for everyone and the people that don’t like it are most likely greedy. One of the 3 branches that I will explain is the executive branch. The executive branch is the branch that carries out all the laws. The executive branch is the President, his cabinet, and close advisors. The president is also, sometimes called the Chief Executive. After a president has been elected they must pledge the oath of office which has them promise to defend the constitution. The president has to do many things to do his

The legislative branch is the branch that gets power from the Constitution to create laws. The Constitution created a bicameral congress. Congress have two houses, one is the Senate and the other is the House of Representatives. The members from the Senate can serve for a 6 year period, and the members of the house can serve for a 2 year period. The Constitution tries to balance the independence and thoughtfulness of the Senate with the House to change the voters wishes. The Congress also balances out the rights of the big states to the small states. There are age requirements to be in the Congress or the Senate. To work in Senate you must be at the age of 30, and to be a House member, 25 would be the age of consent. The job of the Congress is to create laws. Any part of Congress can submit proposals for a bill, but not all succeed. The president must sign the bill to become a law, but he may veto any bill. If the Congress really thinks the bill was acceptable they can override the president’s veto. In order to override the president’s veto, they must receive ⅔ of the Congress to pass it as a law. The Congress is able to do many other things like propose to start a war, decide what to do with tax money, raise military force, grant citizenship, to pay off government

The Judicial branch is the branch that enforces the laws and make sure all crimes are punished fairly by court. The judicial branch protects the constitution and resolves problems that involve with the law. It is made of the federal court, Supreme court, and judges. The Federal court is made of two different courts, district court and appellate courts. Most of the cases that involve Federal laws are first heard in district court, then can be reviewed by the appellate court. The choice that the appellate court made can be appealed to the Supreme Court. The Supreme Court is the final destination of the judicial system. The Supreme Court looks at many cases that may involve or conflict with Constitution, but not until after the lower courts have looked at it. The only time that a case will go straight to the Supreme Court would be if it involves a state or an ambassador from another
