Sort the branches of government using pictures and terms in this educational worksheet.

You're looking at a sorting activity to match the three branches of the U.S. government with their functions and key components.

Here’s how to solve it step-by-step:

---

🏛️ The Three Branches (Top Row):

1. Legislative Branch — Represented by the U.S. Capitol Building (green box).
→ This branch makes laws.

2. Executive Branch — Represented by the White House (blue box).
→ This branch enforces laws.

3. Judicial Branch — Represented by the Supreme Court Building (red box).
→ This branch interprets laws.

✂️ Cut-Out Items (Bottom Grid):

You need to cut out these 6 boxes and sort them under the correct branch.

Let’s match each one:

---

## ✔ LEGISLATIVE BRANCH (Makes Laws)

✔️ Makes laws — This is the core function of the Legislative Branch.
✔️ Congress — Congress (House + Senate) is the body that makes laws.

> 📍 *Place these two under the Capitol (Legislative Branch)*

---

## ✔ EXECUTIVE BRANCH (Enforces Laws)

✔️ Enforces laws — This is the core function of the Executive Branch.
✔️ President — The President leads the Executive Branch and enforces laws.

> 📍 *Place these two under the White House (Executive Branch)*

📌 Why this matters: This activity teaches the separation of powers — each branch has its own role to prevent any one branch from becoming too powerful.
