Let’s solve this step by step.
We need to sort the boxes at the bottom into the correct branch of government: Legislative, Executive, or Judicial.
First, let’s remember what each branch does:
-
Legislative = Makes laws (Congress)
-
Executive = Carries out laws (President and helpers)
-
Judicial = Interprets laws (Courts and judges)
Now, look at each box:
1.
The President → Leads the country, carries out laws →
Executive
2.
House of Representatives → Part of Congress, makes laws →
Legislative
3.
Vice President → Helps the President, part of executive team →
Executive
4.
Supreme Court → Highest court, interprets laws →
Judicial
5.
Cabinet → Advisors to the President, help carry out laws →
Executive
6.
Congress → Makes laws (includes House + Senate) →
Legislative
7.
Senate → Part of Congress, makes laws →
Legislative
8.
Justices → Judges on the Supreme Court →
Judicial
Now, group them under the right branches:
✔ Legislative:
- House of Representatives
- Congress
- Senate
✔ Executive:
- The President
- Vice President
- Cabinet
✔ Judicial:
- Supreme Court
- Justices
Final Answer:
Legislative: House of Representatives, Congress, Senate
Executive: The President, Vice President, Cabinet
Judicial: Supreme Court, Justices
