3 Branches - (Executive Branch | Legislative Branch | Judicial Branch)
Headed by the US President. The president carries out Federal Laws and recommends new ones, directs national defense and foreign policy, and performs ceremonial duties. Powers include directing government, commanding the Armed Forces, dealing with international powers, acting as chief law enforcement officer, and vetoing laws.
Headed by Congress, which includes the House of Representatives and the Senate. The main task of these two bodies is to make the laws. Its powers include passing laws, originating spending bills (House), impeaching officials (Senate), and approving treaties (Senate).
Headed by the Supreme Court. Its powers include interpreting the Constitution, reviewing laws, and deciding cases involving states' rights.
Our federal government has three parts. They are theExecutive, (President and about 5,000,000 workers) Legislative (Senate and House of Representatives) and Judicial (Supreme Court and lower Courts).
The President of the United Statesadministers the Executive Branch of our government. He enforces the laws that theLegislative Branch (Congress) makes. The President is elected by United States citizens, 18 years of age and older, who vote in the presidential elections in their states. These votes are tallied by states and form the Electoral College system. States have the number of electoral votes which equal the number of senators and representatives they have. It is possible to have the most popular votes throughout the nation and NOT win the electoral vote of the Electoral College.
The Legislative part of our government is called Congress. Congress makes our laws. Congress is divided into 2 parts. One part is called the Senate. There are 100Senators--2 from each of our states. Another part is called the House of Representatives. Representatives meet together to discuss ideas and decide if these ideas (bills) should become laws. There are 435 Representatives. The number of representatives each state gets is determined by its population. Some states have just 2 representatives. Others have as many as 40. Both senators and representatives are elected by the eligible voters in their states.
The Judicial part of our federal government includes the Supreme Court and9 Justices. They are special judges who interpret laws according to the Constitution. These justices only hear cases that pertain to issues related to the Constitution. They are the highest court in our country. The federal judicial system also has lower courts located in each state to hear cases involving federal issues.
Yes it does.
Without knowing what the options are it is hard to provide the correct answer. Knowing what the options are will allow someone to know which of the following branches of government the U.S. Constitution did not provide for.
The idea of having three branches of the national government is attributed to the framers of the United States Constitution. James Madison, often referred to as the "Father of the Constitution," played a key role in developing this concept. The separation of powers among the executive, legislative, and judicial branches was intended to prevent the concentration of power and provide a system of checks and balances.
A federal republic
The nature of a constitution is to establish the fundamental principles, laws, and rights that govern a country. Its purpose is to provide a framework for the organization of government, define the relationships between different branches of government, and protect the rights of citizens. The constitution also serves to limit the powers of the government and provide a mechanism for its amendment.
The Final U.S. Constitution is what separates the three branches of government and was a result of a compromise on the central government of the U.S. and its responsibilities that was proposed at the Constitutional Convention of 1787. The new constitution was officially signed on Sep 17, 1787 but was officially ratified (by the ninth state creating the majority needed) and took effect on June 21, 1788 - So the answer is really a little fluid and depends on your view.
They argued that the new government would provide a better balance between the national government and state governments. Hope that helps!
The Tennis Court Oath was when the national assembly would not disband the tenis court until they had a new constitution. This happened and was called the Constitution of 1791. It was the first written constitution of France. There was still a king but the national assembly made the laws. Only men over 25 could vote but its main significance was that it was the first written constitution of France.
Yes, the constitution specifically removed the ability of the states to issue currency.
a written outline of the government
The Constitution does put a limit on the powers of the government, and thus it could be argued that the Founders intended the government to remain very limited. However, it can also be argued that the Founders did not foresee the technological advancements that we have made in our modern age, and thus a change in the age requires a change in how we govern.
