Hi, thanks for your

Answer 1

Hi, thanks for your question. I'm happy to help. I assume you're talking about the U.S. Government. There are three branches: the Executive, which is President Obama and the people/departments who report to him; the Legislative, which is congress (the House and Senate); and the Judicial, which consists primarily of the Supreme Court. The Legislature/Congress's job is to pass laws: to define the legal framework of the United States. The Executive/President plays a part in this as well, because of the veto power of the President. The Executive/President's job is to enforce the law as defined by Congress. The Judicial/Supreme Court's job is to interpret the law; specifically to determine whether a given law conflicts with the Constitution, in which case it is invalid. If this answer meets your need, please accept it.
