    • C.

      Executive, Legislative, Judicial

    Correct Answer
    C. Executive, Legislative, Judicial
    Explanation
    The three branches of government are Executive, Legislative, and Judicial. The Executive branch is responsible for enforcing laws and is headed by the President. The Legislative branch is responsible for making laws and is composed of Congress, which includes the House of Representatives and the Senate. The Judicial branch is responsible for interpreting laws and is made up of the courts, including the Supreme Court. This division of powers ensures a system of checks and balances, preventing any one branch from becoming too powerful.

    The ________ is part of the Legislative Branch.

    Correct Answer
    Congress
    Senates
    House of Representatives
    Explanation
    The correct answer is Congress, Senates, House of Representatives. Congress is the name given to the legislative branch of the United States government, which is responsible for making laws. It is composed of two chambers: the Senate and the House of Representatives. The Senate represents the states equally, with two senators from each state, while the House of Representatives is based on population, with the number of representatives from each state determined by its population size. Together, the Senate and the House of Representatives form the Congress, making all three options correct.

    Does the president make all the decisions?

    • A.

      Yes

    • B.

      No

    Correct Answer
    B. No
    Explanation
    The president does not make all the decisions. In a democratic system, the president is typically the head of the executive branch and has the power to make important decisions, but they are also bound by a system of checks and balances. The president's decisions are often influenced by other branches of government, such as the legislative and judicial branches, as well as by advisors, experts, and public opinion. Additionally, the president may need to seek approval or consensus from other government officials or bodies before making certain decisions. Therefore, it is incorrect to say that the president makes all the decisions.
