The federal government is the national level of government. It is divided into three separate branches: the legislative branch, the judicial branch, and the executive branch. The three branches work together to make sure the power is balanced, and no individual branch becomes too powerful. This is known as a system of checks and balances. Congress is the legislative branch. It is responsible for making laws. Congress is made up of two separate chambers: the Senate, and the House of Representatives. Each state is represented in each chamber. A state elects two senators to the Senate. Each state’s representation in the House of Representatives is based on the state’s population
