Branches
of Government
The American system of government is established
by the United States Constitution, which provides
for three separate but equal branches of government
-- legislative, executive and judicial.
Together, these branches make, execute, and interpret the
laws that govern our country. Because each branch
has both individual and shared powers, each is
accountable to the others.
This "checks and balances"
system means that the balance of power in our
government remains steady.
