The three branches of government where Led by 

Madison, they argued that most of the nation's 

power should be focused in a federal system: 

Based on a dispersal of power within three 

branches of government.(Kowalski 48) "The 

executive branch would execute the laws; the 

legislative branch would make the laws; and the 

judicial branch would interpret them" (kowalski 

48). All three branches would separate the 

governing powers. To keep each branch equal in 

power. "All three would possess the ability to check 

the operations of the other" (Kowalski 48).

  The Legislative branch makes the laws. The 

House of Representatives was created as a 

result of the Great Compromise. The House is 

larger than the Senate. "The house of 

representatives gave the constitutional 

congress to determine the size of the house" 

(Kowalski 49). Only the house can introduce 

spending bills. Our countries legislative branch, 

or Congress, includes another lawmaking body 

called the Senate. The senate can approve or 

reject treaties.

 The supreme court heads the Judicial branch

of the United States of Government. It is the 

only court established in the Constitution. All 

the other courts in the United States must 

follow the ruling or decision made by the 

supreme court. "Equal Justice under Law" 

(Kowalski 28). The wording of the Constitution 

is hard, so it must be studied and examined 

carefully. The Judicial Branch is in charge of 

the court system. 

The President is the head, the President is the 

director of the federal government. the 

President also serves commander and chief of 

armed forces. the president can Veto the bill 

witch is the law, or he can send it back to 

congress. "The President works out treaties or 

agreement with other" ("The Executive 

branch"). The President has many important 

tasks.
