OriginsHave you ever wondered where our laws and government came from?
In Philadelphia on May 14, 1787, our forefathers created the Constitution of the United States in Independence Hall that spelled out the formation of the new government of the newly independent United States that’s divided into three branches.

Checks and BalancesThe branches of government has a checks and balances system where each one can balance the other:
The president can veto laws from Congress
Congress can reject the president’s appointments and can remove him from office
The Supreme Court can overturn unconstitutional laws, and justices are appointed by the president

ConclusionThe US government is divided into three branches: the Legislative that creates the laws, the Executive that carries out the laws, and the Judicial that evaluates the laws. Each branch has some sort of power over the other that keeps the system in check.
