The U.S. government is split into three parts to keep things fair and balanced. Here’s how it works:

1. Legislative Branch:

   • This part makes the laws.
   • It includes Congress, which has 535 members. This is made up of 100 Senators and 435 Representatives.

2. Executive Branch:

   • This part makes sure the laws are followed.
   • It’s led by the President, who is in charge for four years. The President gets help from the Vice President and a group of advisors called the Cabinet.

3. Judicial Branch:

   • This part explains what the laws mean.
   • It has the Supreme Court and other lower courts. There are nine judges, called justices, who serve for life.

These branches work together to keep our government running smoothly!
