JUDICIAL BRANCH

This system prevents any one branch from gaining too much power and turning the country towards tyranny.

EXECUTIVE BRANCH

Definition – Power is shared by the state and federal government.

In our system, the national government does have ultimate authority, but states have a lot to say in what goes on as well.

Powers for the national government = delegated powers,

Powers for the state government = reserved powers,

Powers shared between the national and the state are concurrent powers.

who have the same beliefs

that you believe in.

You can’t have the whole

population vote on everything,

so you vote on people who

share similar beliefs and

allow them to vote.

ex: House of Rep. vote on

behalf of their state. they

vote in the interests of the

people who are in their state.
