Introduction

The government of United States bases its powers and functions in three most powerful

branches that are the legislature, judicial and executive. The three branches interact with one

another to inaugurate authority that firm, yet have equal powers to exercise over the country

since they operate independently of the other. In this scope of separation of powers, each branch

has specific roles and duties to perform most efficiently and acceptable way to the society. Each

branch of the federal government work hand in hand to authenticate the accuracy of countries

most potent law on the land. However, some rules and regulations prevent the imperious

concentration of powers and function in any of the branches to safeguard the rights and freedom

of the citizens.

The executive branch of government consists of the president, the vice president, and the

cabinet secretaries. The powers and functions of the executive arm are vested in the president of

the Republic of United States America. Additionally, the president acts the head of state as well

as chief commander of the armed forces. According to Article II of the Constitution of United

States, the president has the mandate to execute and enforce laws passed by Congress

. The vice

president, on the other hand, supports the president in running various affairs of the executive as

well as maintaining functional relations between the president and the Senate. Cabinet secretaries

as part of executives help the president in making multiple decision as well as performing other

duties and responsibilities as articulated in the constitution. President has specific powers which

cannot be shared by members of any branch, such as vetting of bills not passed by the Congress.

Judiciary as the branch of the federal government consisting of the Supreme Court and its

justices, with the chief judge being the head. The primary duties and responsibilities of the

judiciary are determining if specific laws are viable about the United States Constitution

. The

president nominates each justice after which the majority in the Senate would vet their names

and approve their position. Judicial as the branch of government is always on the move to ensure

the states entire law-making process is done correctly and in a fair manner, hence the real

democracy and fair justice. Moreover, the judicial branch has the power to determine particular

law should be adopted in the daily life of American citizens.

The Legislative branch, primarily the United States Congress is compost of the Senate

and the House of Representatives. Senate made up of 100 members of which two members come

from each of the 50 states of America. There are 435 members in the House of representatives

each from various district of the American population. This arm of the federal government

determines the country’s law as well as implementing the existing laws to solving the people's

challenges and limitations.

In conclusion, the three branches of the American federal government of America has

worked for than 200 years, and it has proven to be successful. Each branch of the federal

government work hand in hand to authenticate the accuracy of countries most powerful law on

the land, that caters to its citizens

. The effectiveness and more significant advantages of this

system of government will one day evolve and be adopted even in communist and Soviet

nations.
