Branches of Government Worksheets - Free Printable

Let’s solve this step by step.

We are matching parts of the U.S. government to the correct branch: Legislative, Executive, or Judicial.

First, remember what each branch does:

- Legislative = Makes laws → This is Congress (which includes the House of Representatives and the Senate).
- Executive = Carries out/enforces laws → This is the President, Vice President, and Cabinet.
- Judicial = Interprets laws → This is the Supreme Court and other federal courts (justices work here).

Now let’s look at the boxes we need to sort:

1. The President → Works in the Executive Branch (he leads it)
2. Supreme Court → Part of the Judicial Branch
3. Senate → Part of Congress → Legislative Branch
4. House of Representatives → Also part of Congress → Legislative Branch
5. Cabinet → Advises the President → Executive Branch
6. Justices → Work in the Supreme Court → Judicial Branch
7. Vice President → Second-in-command to the President → Executive Branch
8. Congress → Made up of House + Senate → Legislative Branch

Now let’s put them under the right headings:

Legislative Branch:
- Senate
- House of Representatives
- Congress

Executive Branch:
- The President
- Cabinet
- Vice President

Judicial Branch:
- Supreme Court
- Justices

That’s all 8 items sorted correctly!

Final Answer:
Legislative: Senate, House of Representatives, Congress
Executive: The President, Cabinet, Vice President
Judicial: Supreme Court, Justices
