Explanation:

ORGANS OF GOVERNMENT

The three main branches/organs of government are the legislative, executive, and judiciary. Very simply, the legislative branch makes the laws, the executive enforces the laws, and the judiciary interprets the laws. Many countries today practice some form of this system of government, particularly the United States. Here, the three organs exist as a system of checks and balances to ensure that no one branch exceeds the others in power.

In the United States' legislative branch, each state is represented by two senators. The number of representatives each state receives, however, is based on population. For example, based on the latest 2010 census, California has fifty-three representatives, more than any other state in the union. Meanwhile, Vermont, Wyoming, South Dakota, North Dakota, Montana, Delaware, and Alaska each have one representative. In all, there are 435 members in the House of Representatives. There are also six non-voting House of Representative members: the resident commissioner of Washington, D.C., and the delegates of Puerto Rico, the US Virgin Islands, American Samoa, Guam, and the Northern Mariana Islands.

The six non-voting members may not vote in the full House; they can, however, vote in committees of which they are a member.

In the executive branch, the president is the head of state and the commander-in-chief of the Armed Forces. The executive branch consists of the president, vice-president, the president's Cabinet, fifteen executive departments, and hundreds of federal agencies. The president and vice-president are elected through the electoral college system. In this system, each state elects its own electors. These electors must legally vote for the presidential and vice-presidential candidate who receives the most votes in their states. The executive branch may also make treaties with other countries, but the treaties must be ratified by the Senate.

The judiciary branch is established by Article III of the Constitution. Members of the federal judiciary branch are nominated by the president and confirmed by the Senate. There are currently nine Supreme Court justices. Additionally, there are thirteen Courts of Appeals and ninety-four federal district courts. Federal justices can only be removed through a process: first, impeachment by the House of Representatives and then, conviction by the Senate. Federal justices serve for life.
