How is the federal government divided? Why are checks and balances necessary? Explain with instances.
- Answers The federal government is divided into three branches:
, Legislative branch: The part of the U.S. government that makes federal laws. It is known as Congress
(the Senate and the House of Representatives).
Executive branch: The part of the U.S. government that enforces the federal law. It consists of the
president and vice president.
Judicial branch: The part of the U.S. government that interprets the law. It consists of the Supreme Court
and other federal courts.
Checks and balances are built into the Constitution to ensure that no one branch of the federal
government becomes too powerful. Examples of some of the checks and balances in our system of
government are as follows:
The judicial branch has authority to examine the acts of the other two branches of government and
determine whether those acts are constitutional.
The executive branch can enter into treaties with foreign governments only with the advice and consent
of the Senate.

Any powers that are not specifically delegated to the federal government by the Constitution are
reserved to the state governments. These are called reserved powers. State governments are
empowered to deal with local affairs. For example, states enact laws that provide for the formation and
regulation of partnerships and corporations. Cities adopt zoning laws that designate certain portions of
the city as residential areas and other portions as business and commercial areas.
