Presentation transcript:

The Three Branches of the U. S The Three Branches of the U.S. Government: Separation & Balance of Power

Introduction: Identify the 3 branches of federal and state governments. Understand checks and balances, and how one branch of government can limit the power of others.

The Three Branches of Government The Executive Branch The Judicial Branch The Legislative Branch

The Executive Branch The executive branch of Government makes sure that the laws of the United States are obeyed. The President of the United States is the head of the executive branch of government. This branch is very large so the President gets help from the Vice President, department heads (Cabinet members), and heads of independent agencies.

The Executive Branch is made up of: President: Leader of the country and commands the military. Vice President: President of the Senate and becomes President if the President can no longer do the job. Departments: Department heads advise the President on issues and help carry out policies. \ Independent Agencies: Help carry out policy or provide special services.

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. Article III of the Constitution established this Court and all other Federal courts were created by Congress. Courts decide arguments about the meaning of laws, how they are applied, and whether they break the rules of the Constitution.

The Legislative Branch The legislative branch of government is made up of the Congress and government agencies, such as the Government Printing Office and Library of Congress, that provide assistance to and support services for the Congress. Article I of the Constitution established this branch and gave Congress the power to make laws. Congress has two parts, the House of Representatives and the Senate.

Checks and Balances A system that gives each branch of government different powers so that each branch can check the authority of the others.

Think about it Which of the following positions would you like to hold: President of the United States, Speaker of the House of Representatives and/or Senate Majority Leader or Chief Justice of the Supreme Court? Explain why you chose the position you did. Which is the most powerful? Does the system of checks & balances help to keep one branch from becoming too powerful?
