Question

Look at the graphic of the three branches of government. Explain to a sixth grade student what these three branches did for the country at the time of the Constitutional Convention. Your explanation should take no more than 50-75 words.

Answer 1

Answer:

During The Constitutional Convention, James Madison suggested to have  three branches. The legislative branch, the Congress, would make laws.  The executive branch would carry out the laws. A  judicial branch would  settle legal arguments. This set up a system of checks and balances where all three branches had a distribution of power so that nothing could become more powerful than them. They were under the Virginia Plan, which provided for a national government for them.
