Question

How are the federal executive branch and most state legislative branches similar?

Both have agency and department heads that manage duties.
Both have a vice president serving as second in command.
Both allow citizens to elect all leaders of executive departments.
Both can draft and pass laws governing citizens’ behavior.

Answer 1

Answer:

The executive branch can check and balance both the legislative branch and the judicial branch. ... State executive branches have similar check and balancing authority; a governor can generally veto statutes proposed by state legislature and can appoint some state justices and judges.

Answer 2

The federal executive branch is responsible for making and enforcing the law.

The president, vice-president, Cabinet, major departments, the private sector, and various boards, commissions, and committees form the executive branch.

The legislature, on the other hand, develops proposed legislation, confirms or rejects the presidential nomination of heads of state agencies, state judges, and the Supreme Court, and has the power to declare war. The Congress and the specialized agencies and offices that provide support for Congress form the branch.

The two branches are similar because they both have a larger House of Representatives and a smaller Senate.
