1. Name the three branches of government.

✔ Answer:
Legislative, Executive, and Judicial

🔹 Explanation:
The U.S. Constitution divides the federal government into three separate branches to ensure no single branch becomes too powerful (separation of powers).
- Legislative = Makes laws (Congress: House + Senate)
- Executive = Enforces laws (President, Vice President, Cabinet)
- Judicial = Interprets laws (Supreme Court and other federal courts)

2. Which branch of government makes laws for the country?

✔ Answer:
The Legislative Branch

🔹 Explanation:
This branch is made up of Congress — the Senate and the House of Representatives. They draft, debate, and pass bills that become laws when signed by the President (or if Congress overrides a veto).

---

3. Name two people who are included in the executive branch.

✔ Answer (examples):
The President and the Vice President
*(Other acceptable answers: Secretary of State, Attorney General, any Cabinet member)*

🔹 Explanation:
The Executive Branch is led by the President and includes the Vice President and the Cabinet (heads of federal departments like Defense, Education, etc.). These individuals enforce and administer federal laws.

---

4. What does the judicial branch do?

✔ Answer:
Interprets the laws and decides if they are constitutional.

🔹 Explanation:
The Judicial Branch — primarily through the Supreme Court and lower federal courts — reviews laws and government actions to ensure they follow the U.S. Constitution. It also resolves disputes between states, citizens, or between the federal government and states.

5. True or False? One branch of government has more power than the others.

✔ Answer:
False

🔹 Explanation:
The U.S. government is designed with “checks and balances” so each branch can limit the powers of the others. For example:
- The President can veto laws (executive check on legislative)
- Congress can override a veto or impeach the President (legislative check on executive)
- The Supreme Court can declare laws unconstitutional (judicial check on both)
No single branch is meant to be more powerful — they’re supposed to be equal but independent.

6. True or False? The cabinet are part of the legislative branch.

✔ Answer:
False

🔹 Explanation:
The Cabinet (e.g., Secretary of Defense, Secretary of Education) are appointed by the President and serve in the Executive Branch. They help the President carry out and enforce laws — not make them. The Legislative Branch is Congress (Senators and Representatives).

---

✔ Final Answer Summary:

1. Legislative, Executive, Judicial
2. Legislative Branch
3. President and Vice President (or any two Cabinet members)
4. Interprets laws and determines constitutionality
5. False
6. False
