Exploring Each Branch of the United States Government

Before you print off all of this document, decide if
you want to print off page 2 or 3 or both of them.
Page 2, the child fills the information in.
Page 3, provides the information.
You may want both pages to mix and match with
the different ages of your children or your needs.
For example, you may prefer they do a lot of
writing in this lapbook or you may wish to do it
with less time and less writing. You decide.
This is the back. As with all of my
books shaped like this one, the cover
is always made just a tad longer so it
covers.
Fold in right and left sides, bottom up
and cover down.

Click this to read about the executive branch.
The executive branch of Government makes sure that the laws of the United States are obeyed. The President of the United States is the head of
the executive branch of government. This branch is very large so the President gets help from the Vice President, department heads (Cabinet
members), and heads of independent agencies.
Click here to read about the legislative branch.
The legislative branch of government is made up of the Congress and government agencies, such as the Government Printing Office and Library of
Congress, that provide assistance to and support services for the Congress. Article I of the Constitution established this branch and gave Congress
the power to make laws. Congress has two parts, the House of Representatives and the Senate.
Click here to read about the judicial branch.
The judicial branch of government is made up of the court system. The Supreme Court is the highest court in the land. Article III of the Constitution established this Court and all other Federal courts were created by Congress. Courts decide arguments about the meaning of laws, how they
are applied, and whether they break the rules of the Constitution.
