THE US GOVERNMENT
The constitution divides the Government into 3 branches. They are the LEGISLATIVE, EXECUTIVE and JUDICIAL branches.
The legislative branch makes laws for the nation. CONGRESS has two parts, the HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES and the SENATE. Congress meets at the US Capitol in Washington D.C.
The executive branch enforces these laws. The leaders of this branch are the PRESIDENT and the VICE-PRESIDENT. When making important decision, the president consults a group of 15 advisors, know as the CABINET.
Sometimes people have different interpretations of a law. In this case the judicial branch make a decision. In very difficult cases the final decision is made at the US SUPREME COURT. The Supreme Court has 9 judges. They meet at the Supreme Court building in Washington D.C.
