I can name the three branches of government and tell what each one does.
A Plan for Sharing Power
In 1787, leaders from the states met to write the U.S. Constitution. It is the plan for our national government. The leaders did not want one person to have all the power. So they made three branches. Congress makes the laws. The President carries out the laws. The courts decide what laws mean. Each branch can stop, or check, the others. This is called checks and balances.
