If you are accused of breaking a law can you present your case to a branch of government that had nothing to do with making this law?

Laws are proposed and passed by the LEGISLATIVE branch of government - they are enforced by the EXECUTIVE branch of government - decisions are rendered by the JUDICIAL branch of government. So..., yes, you would be presenting your case to a branch of government that had nothing to do with the enactment of the law. HOWEVER - - If you are talking about violating a "regulation" that was established by some government agency, then it may be possible to appeal that agency's finding to some other body.

In our country the constitution says that when you are accused of breaking the law you can present your case to a branch of government that had nothing to do with making the law?
Well, assuming your nation is the United States, it works out that way. The Constitution does not explicitly state it that way, but inherent in the system is that if you break a law (which can only be enacted by Congress) then you have a right to a hearing before a jury of your peers, which only takes place in the Judicial system. In practice, there are "law equivalents" enacted by Executive order, such as tax regulations, which are then tried in special courts called "tax courts". Guess the government got tired of juries giving citizens a break in real court.
