In comparing the powers of both the legislative branch of government to the executive branch of government, one must first understand why these branches of government was made, what each individual form of government does, how they are able to function separately and also, what their purpose is for the people of the nation. The first branch of government, the legislative branch, was first established in Article 1 of the Articles of Confederation. The first founding fathers of the nation intended for this particular branch of government to be the sole form of government to be able to make and create the laws for the country. (Lenz & Holman, 2004). The Legislative branch houses two different forms of government, the House of Representatives and the Senate. The House of Representative main goals in this branch is to revenue bills, have the rights to be able to impeach the federal office officials, and also, to be able to elect the new president to office if too many electoral votes are processed (The White House, n.d.). The Senate’s power in the legislative branch is to confirm or approve any important presidential appointments that the president may have. (The White House, n.d.). Also, in the Legislative Branch of government, the legislative has powers to declare war on another…

that did not support the approval. In the Constitution, the three branches of government were separate and equal, but also unified in certain aspects to keep the other branches in order. The Federalists believed that this separation would allow for liberty for the citizens and avoid tyranny. On the other hand, the Anti-Federalists, or critics of the ratification, argued that the Constitution challenged separation of powers due to these checks and balances. Showing support for the ratification,…
Everyone assume the president controls everything but with the help of his peers and cabin below him, he is able to make decisions through their advice. The president does not make every call for the country. Even the president cannot control everything for the country, so that’s where the legislative branch comes in. I believe the legislative branch is the strongest because some of its powers. They write laws, levy tax, confirm Supreme Court justices, decide budgets and carry out impeachment…
comparison to the powers of both the legislative branch of government to the executive branch of government, one must first take a look and understand why these two main branches of government were made in the first place. What powers make up each individual form of government, why and how are they able to function separately and also, their purpose is for the people of the nation.

constitution can state bounds for each power, but does that truly mean that each individual power won’t overstep their boundaries? Publius wrote the Federalists in regards to this issue. It is the added benefit of each power being independent of each other, and being in conflict with each other. It creates a checks and balance system to the government. Montesquieu’s Vision: Reflecting the United States’ constitution on Montesquieu vision, many similarities exist with very few difference.…

They have the power of impeachment towards the President and override vetoes with 2/3 the majority vote. Executive branch is where president work. Their job is to enforce the laws that Legislative branch creates. They…
nation are run. While the Constitution of the United States outlines the way the federal government is run and act as the supreme law, each state has its own constitution to lay out the way its own government will run. It is important for the people to know the specific workings of their own state’s government in comparison to that of the nation as a whole, so comparing our home, Nevada’s, constitution to that of the United States is a way to more fully understand the way power is split up…
The similarities between these two documents and governments become most apparent when directly comparing laws from the Gayanashagowa to key functions of the United States government laid out in its constitution. It begins even in their very structure. In the United States, the federal government is divided into three branches- the legislative, executive, and judicial branches- each with their own purpose and powers, to ensure not one becomes too powerful. It’s a practice known as the separation…
