How We Organize Ourselves   by

The United States of America

The United States has a presidential republic.  We have three branches of government.  The President is the executive branch.  The judicial branch is the Supreme Court and the judges that make the laws fair.  The legislative branch makes laws and controls trade.

Structure of the GovernmentLegislative BranchThe legislative branch is made up of two houses:  The House of Representatives and the Senate.  Together they are called Congress.  Congress charges taxes, declares war, creates the military, controls trade, and makes laws.  

ExecutiveThe Executive Branch is the President.  The President carries out the laws, signs or vetos bills, and represents the US with other countries.  

JudicalThe judicial branch makes sure that laws are fair.  The Supreme Court decides cases about National laws between states.  The President chooses and the Senate votes to approve Supreme Court Justices.  

How is the Government Chosen?

ElectionsA person is re-elected or a new candidate is elected.  Citizens vote for President, Senators, Representatives, and other elected officials.  Senators and Representatives are required to live in the state they represent.      The President must be 35 years old or older and be born in the United States.  Representatives must be at least 25 years old and citizen for the last seven years.  Senators must be at least 30 years and citizens for at least nine years.      Citizens choose wisely and vote for the people who will serve in the government.  Not all citizens who can vote, do vote. Citizens vote on a type of paper called a ballot.  Citizens choose their candidates based a variety of reasons.
