The three branches of the U.S. government each have a different main job in the law process:

  • Legislative Branch (Congress) – This branch has the power to make laws.
  • Executive Branch (President and federal agencies) – This branch has the power to enforce laws.
  • Judicial Branch (the courts, especially the Supreme Court) – This branch has the power to interpret laws and decide if laws are broken in specific cases.
