Separation of power has been important since the United States were formed and In short the constitution states that there are to be three branches of government, and the balance of power between the branches will be equal. The 3 branches include the Legislative, Executive, and Judicial branches. The Legislative branch is made up of the House of Representatives and the Senate make up the Legislative branch. The Executive branch includes the President, Vice-President, and the Cabinet, which is made up of people who give advice to the President such as Secretary of State, Defense, Homeland Security and many others. Finally, the Judicial branch consists of nine judges called justices, and they oversee the United States court system (The Supreme Court). Each of these branches can keep the other branches in check and to pass any major law or bill these branches must learn to work together. In this video your kids / students will learn how the three branches work independently and together. Are you looking for more Checks and Balances Resources?
