The United States Federal Government is organized by three consecutive branches, each matched with the others in terms of power. The Constitution Framers constructed the document in this way in order to prevent one sovereign power from having too much power, while also allowing for a majority section of the government to act upon an agreeable element. The three branches are the Executive, Judicial, and Legislative branches. The Legislative branch consists of Congress and the House of Representatives. This branch has the purpose of creating bills and fulfilling the actions needed to provide the nation with necessary funds. This branch has the ability to team with either the Executive Branch, if the Judicial branch rules the bill unconstitutional or unruly, or the Judicial branch, if the bill is constitutional and the president vetoed it. This is important for the branch because it has the ability to enact the law with a 2/3 vote. The executive branch consists of the president and his or her cabinet. This branch serves the purpose of carrying out and enforcing laws. The executive branch can check the other powers by vetoing laws and asking the Judicial branch to do a redetermination of the constitutionality. The president can check the judicial branch by teaming with congress to pass the bill or create an amendment to the constitution. The judicial branch consists of the 9 justices. This branch has the ultimate purpose of checking the constitutionality of bills and making amendments. This branch is able to check the executive branch by declaring the bill constitutional and teaming with the legislature to enact the bill. The branch is also able to check the legislative branch by declaring their bills unconstitutional. In conclusion, the three branches of government consist of the Judicial, Legislative, and Executive branches. The system of checks and balances works by enabling one branch to prevent a bill from becoming a law while providing the other branches the ability to enact the bill with a 2/3 vote. This is necessary for government because it prevents unlawful laws from being enacted, as well as allowing for a righteous law to be enacted.
