Text, Questions & Answers

Imagine a sports team. Each player has a specific role to play to help the team win. Our government works the same way! It has three branches, each with its unique role. The Executive branch, like the team captain, makes decisions and takes action. The Legislative branch plans strategies by making laws, just like a team strategist. And the Judicial branch is the referee, making sure everyone follows the laws. These branches work separately but together, ensuring no single branch becomes too powerful. It's teamwork at its best, for the good of our country!
