Task 1 Read this!
The Wisconsin Constitution, like most state constitutions, divides the state government’s powers into three separate and independent branches. This is done to make sure no one authority will become too powerful and endanger the liberties of the people. The three branches are the legislative, executive, and judicial. Although they are separate and independent, they must cooperate with each other to run state government.
The three-branch idea is modeled after the national government.
LEGISLATIVE BRANCH Two houses make up the legislative branch: the senate (with 33 members) and the assembly (with 99 members). This branch makes the law, passes the state budget, determines the tax structure of the state, and keeps track of the other branches of government.
EXECUTIVE BRANCH The executive branch has the power and duty to administer, implement, execute, and enforce the law. The governor serves as the head of the executive branch and as commander in chief of the state military and naval forces.
JUDICIAL BRANCH The third branch of government, the judicial branch, includes the state supreme court, the court of appeals, and all other courts. The executive branch interprets the laws.
