![Page 59: Unit 2 - American Revolutoin](https://reader038.vdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022110203/55d2c743bb61eb52088b47c8/html5/thumbnails/59.jpg)

The Structure of Government
• Legislative Branch – makes laws- Senate (6 year terms)- House of Representatives (2 year terms)
• Executive Branch – enforces laws• Judicial Branch – interprets laws• Separation of Powers – keeps any one branch
from becoming too powerful
![Page 77: Unit 2 - American Revolutoin](https://reader038.vdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022110203/55d2c743bb61eb52088b47c8/html5/thumbnails/77.jpg)
Checks and Balances
• Checks and Balances - Constitution gives each branch some power over the other branches
• Prevents one branch form becoming too powerful
• Example – President has the power to veto laws passed by Congress- Congress can override President’s veto with a 2/3 vote
![Page 78: Unit 2 - American Revolutoin](https://reader038.vdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022110203/55d2c743bb61eb52088b47c8/html5/thumbnails/78.jpg)

Sharing of Powers• National Government powers
- Coin money- Make treaties- Declare war
• State Powers- Set punishment for crimes- Make education laws - Regulate trade within the state
• Concurrent Powers (Both have these powers)- Power to tax- Build roads- Set up courts
• In case of conflicts between Federal and State laws – States must follow national laws
![Page 80: Unit 2 - American Revolutoin](https://reader038.vdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022110203/55d2c743bb61eb52088b47c8/html5/thumbnails/80.jpg)
Ability to Change
• Has only been amended 27 times• Constitution written very vague – different
interpretations• Supreme Court’s job to interpret the
Constitution
![Page 81: Unit 2 - American Revolutoin](https://reader038.vdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022110203/55d2c743bb61eb52088b47c8/html5/thumbnails/81.jpg)
Changes over time
• Supreme Court may change interpretations over time– Plessey vs. Ferguson– Brown vs. Board of Education
