- Executive - the Executive Branch is in charge of the administrative aspect of the government. It supervises the operations of the different departments such as Social Welfare, Defense and others. It has direct control over the local governments units to ensure that the needs of the people are attended to by the public servants.

They use the powers that the Constitution gave them to check up on one another. By this, I mean that for example, the Legislative Branch makes the laws. The Executive Branch enforces the laws. These are both the main responsibilities of these branches.
