Usually the federal government was represented by the state. During the Continental Congress, the new federal government was divided into three branches of government - judicial, executive, and legislative. Stated by the Separation of Powers amendment, no on branch could do anything without the agreement of the other two. The legislative duty is to make laws. The judicial branch's job was to interpret the law, and the Executive branch's job was to carry out the law. The legislative branch has two main parts, the Congress and the House of Representatives. The Judicial branch is mainly lead by the Supreme Court, while the Executive branch is headed by the president.
