The Government of the United States

The Government of the United States is a democratic system formed by the Constitution, consisting of three branches: the Legislative, Executive, and Judicial. The Legislative branch (Congress) makes laws; the Executive branch (led by the President) enforces them; and the Judicial branch interprets them through the court system. This structure ensures a system of checks and balances, preventing any one branch from becoming too powerful. The government operates at federal, state, and local levels, providing services and maintaining order while protecting citizens' rights and freedoms. Through regular elections, citizens participate in choosing their leaders.
