The Legislative Branch

The legislative branch is a part of government responsible for making laws. In the United States, it consists of Congress, which has two chambers: the House of Representatives and the Senate. Members discuss, propose, and pass laws that affect the country. They also oversee government agencies and approve budgets. This branch balances power and ensures representation for different regions and populations. Its main role is to create rules that guide how the country functions, protecting citizens’ rights and maintaining the government’s accountability.
