the U.S. Government

The U.S. government is a system that manages the country through three branches: the legislative, executive, and judicial. Congress (Senate and House of Representatives) makes laws; the President enforces them; and courts interpret laws and settle disputes. It operates under the Constitution, which outlines rights and powers. Federal agencies implement policies, while state and local governments handle regional matters. The government balances powers to prevent any one branch from becoming too powerful, ensuring a system of checks and balances. Its goal is to serve and protect the nation's citizens, uphold laws, and promote the country’s stability and well-being.
