U.S. Legislative Branch

The U.S. Legislative Branch is responsible for making laws and is composed of two chambers: the House of Representatives and the Senate. Together, they draft, debate, and pass legislation that impacts the entire country. The House has 435 members based on state populations, while the Senate has 100 members, with each state having two. This branch also checks and balances the Executive and Judicial Branches, ensuring no single part of government becomes too powerful. Its main role is representing citizens' interests through lawmaking and oversight.
