Sort the Roles: The Three Branches of Government (for Kids ... - Free Printable

Let’s solve this step by step.

We are sorting roles into the three branches of the U.S. government: Legislative, Executive, and Judicial.

First, remember what each branch does:
- Legislative = makes laws → includes Congress (which has senators and representatives)
- Executive = carries out laws → includes the president, vice president, and cabinet members
- Judicial = evaluates laws → includes courts and judges like Supreme Court justices and district court judges

Now let’s look at each role listed:

1. senators → part of Congress → makes laws → Legislative
2. Congress → whole body that makes laws → Legislative
3. the president → head of executive branch → carries out laws → Executive
4. the vice president → works with president → Executive
5. Supreme Court justices → highest court → evaluates laws → Judicial
6. representatives → part of Congress → makes laws → Legislative
7. cabinet members → advise president → help carry out laws → Executive
8. district court judges → lower courts → evaluate laws → Judicial

Now we sort them into the correct columns:

✔ Legislative (makes laws)
- senators
- Congress
- representatives

✔ Executive (carries out laws)
- the president
- the vice president
- cabinet members

✔ Judicial (evaluates laws)
- Supreme Court justices
- district court judges

Final Answer:
Legislative: senators, Congress, representatives
Executive: the president, the vice president, cabinet members
Judicial: Supreme Court justices, district court judges
