The executive (the President and the administrative branches)

The Legislative (The House of Representatives and the Seante)

The Judicial. The Supreme court and the Federal courts.

The executive branch carries out the day to day operations of the government, enforces laws, oversees the operation of the military and disperses funds to run the various branches of government.

The legislative enacts laws, oversees and investigates the operation of the administrative branch when problems occur, and decides how much the government is going to spend ( the budget) and decides how much tax to levy.

The Supreme court decides matters of constitutionality (like they are doing now with the Affordable Care Act) and oversees the operation of the lower Federal courts. The Lower Federal courts are where matters of law at the Federal level are first brought.
