What three branches make up the federal government of the United States?
The answer is the executive (The President), legislative (Congress) and judicial (Federal Courts) branches!
Through this system of separation of powers and the system of "checks and balances," each of these branches has some authority to act on its own, some authority to regulate the other two branches, and, in turn, is regulated by the other branches. In addition, the powers of the federal government as a whole are limited by the Constitution, which, per the Tenth Amendment, states that all powers not expressly assigned to the federal government are reserved to the states or to the people.
