How are the powers of the US government divided?

Answer 1

The powers of the government are divided into three parts. Laws are made in the legislative branch. Laws are interpreted in the Judicial branch. The government is lead by the Executive branch.

Answer 2

The Constitution divides the government into three branches; legislative, executive and judicial branches. Each has specific powers and duties, to make sure that each branch of government fulfills its responsibilities without exceeding its power.

Answer 3

There are 3 branches of government. They are the legislative branch (Congress), the executive branch (the President), and the judicial branch (the courts). The legislators make the laws, the President votes on the laws, and the courts enforce the laws and decide if they are Constitutional.

Answer 4

As established by the US Constitution, the powers afforded the federal government are divided between three branches: the Executive Branch, the Legislative Branch and the Judicial Branch. The Executive Branch is lead by the President and is charged with the management of federal agencies, the establishment of domestic and international policy and directing the armed forces when military action has been authorized. Additionally, the President, as leader of the Executive Branch is called upon to sign all legislation passed by the Congress into law. If the President chooses not to sign a bill--referred to as a Presidential Veto--the law will not be enacted. Meanwhile, the Legislative Branch, made up of the House Of Representatives and the United States Senate, is charged with drafting legislation. Bills are required to pass both houses of Congress before they can be sent to the President for signature. The Congress is also responsible for proposing federal budgets and issuing a declaration of war when required. (The President, while serving as Commander In Chief of the US Military, does not have the right to declare war. This is reserved for the legislative branch.) Finally, the Judicial Branch must interpret and enforce the laws that are enacted. While Congress may pass a bill with the intent to enact it, all legislation requires the Presidents signature and may be subject to judicial review. Courts within the Judicial Branch may deem a law unconstitutional, thereby nullifying its enactment. By separating these important powers, and allowing for the ability of each branch to oversee the others, it was intended that tyranny could be prevented and a democratic form of government could be preserved.
