Answer 6

The three branches of the U.S. Government are the Legislative (House of Representatives and the Senate), the Executive branch (the President, Vice President, and 15 cabinets - such as Secretary of State, etc.), and the Judicial Branch (the Supreme Court). The new government did not want to return to the days of totalarism of British rule, and to ensure that no single person or entity had a monopoly on power, they instituted a system of checks and balances. The president's power is checked by the Congress, which can refuse to confirm his appointees, for example, and has the power to impeach, or remove, a president. Congress may pass laws, but the president has the power to veto them (Congress, in turn, may override a veto). And the Supreme Court can rule on the constitutionality of a law, but Congress, with approval from two-thirds of the states, may amend the Constitution.
