federal legal framework

The federal legal framework in the United States consists of laws and regulations established by the federal government, primarily outlined in the U.S. Constitution. It includes three main branches: the legislative (Congress), which makes laws; the executive (the President and federal agencies), which enforces them; and the judicial (federal courts), which interprets laws. This system is designed to balance power, ensuring that no one branch becomes too powerful. Additionally, federal laws apply across all states, while each state has its own legal system to handle local issues.
