Hey there!

The three branches of the United States include the Legislative branch, the Judicial branch, and the Executive branch.

The Legislative Branch is the branch that makes the laws for the country. This branch includes the Senate and the House of Representatives since the US is a bicameral government, meaning there are two houses. The Senate has all the senators, who represent the people in each state (there are two senators per state.) The House of Representatives is the lower chamber that represents the people in their state for their stance on the laws (the number of representatives depend on the population of the state).

The Executive Branch is the branch that "executes" or puts the law in action. This is the branch that has people such as the President, Vice President, and the Speaker of the House. This branch holds the power to enforce the laws made by the Legislative.

The Judicial branch is the branch that judges and interprets the laws in case there is a debate between what the law means. This branch has the Supreme Court judges and holds the right to determine whether the laws made are Constitutional.
