✔ Legislative Branch — This branch makes the laws. It includes Congress and meets in the Capitol Building.
✔ Judicial Branch — This branch interprets laws (decides what they mean and if they’re fair). It includes the Supreme Court and the Supreme Court Building.

Step 2: Sort each item.
Executive Branch:
