Presentation transcript:

Article I: The Legislative Branch All legislative powers are given to the legislative branch, which consists of the House of Representatives and the Senate. The Constitution contains a necessary and proper clause, also called the elastic clause, that grants Congress the power tomake any laws deemed “necessary and proper”. The elastic clause is the source of the implied powers of the legislative branch.

Article II: The Executive Branch This article describes the power of the president to execute laws and puts his term in office at 4 years. The president is also Commander in Chief of the armed forces, makes treaties with other nations with the consent of the Senate, and appoints Supreme Court judges. The president is to give a State of the Union Address to Congress. There are conditions under which the president can be removed from office.

Article III: The Judiciary This article established the judiciary as the branch of the government to interpret laws and settle disputes between states and between states and the national government. Supreme Court judges are given life appointments during “good behavior”.

Article IV: The States Each state is to honor the decisions and laws of every other state. Anybody convicted in one state is still guilty in every other state. No state can be formed under the jurisdiction of any other state. All states are to be run as republics. The national government will protect each state from invasion and domestic violence.
