Three Branches of Government Prompt• For this year's writing contest sponsored by the St Lucie County Republican

Club students will be exploring the relationship between the three branches of the US Government, and the checks and balances that exist between them.

• Students should consider the importance of why our governmental system was constructed in such a way, it's historical importance and significance, and what this means for the people that it governs. Students should also consider the magnitude of the checks and balances system: explore the noteworthiness of the powers that each branch holds, but also the checks that they have over other branches, and the checks held over them.

• Students are not limited to just exploring these topics, but are to examine the ideals presented by Montesquieu in his work The Spirit of the Laws that the Founders found so important that they made it a center piece of their developing Democracy.
