Answer 1

The three branches of government in America are:

Executive Branch:

The Executive Branch is made up of the President, who is able to ask for legislation that can be reviewed by the Legislative Branch. The President also has the power to veto (deny a bill) or line-item veto (deny parts of the bill) to allow the congress to reconsider. Presidents also have the power to ask congress to declare war, create treaties, appoint federal judges (to be reviewed by congress), and give pardons.

Legislative Branch:

The Legislative Branch is made up of Congress, and is tasked with creating laws. The Legislative Branch consists of two branches: The House of Representatives (Made up of ~435 ) & the Senate (made up of 100 senators, 2 from each state).

Judicial Branch:

The Judicial Branch is the third branch, and is tasked to moderate the other two branches. They can interpret laws, deny legislations from being made into laws, and act as a check to the executive branch.
