🔍 Explanation:
This worksheet teaches the
separation of powers — a core principle of the U.S. Constitution. Each branch has distinct responsibilities:
-
Legislative: Creates laws.
-
Executive: Carries out laws.
-
Judicial: Judges laws and ensures they follow the Constitution.
This system prevents any one branch from becoming too powerful, promoting checks and balances.
