It explains the distinct roles and structures of each branch. The Legislative Branch, known as Congress, is responsible for making laws and is divided into the Senate and House of Representatives. The Executive Branch, led by the President, carries out laws and includes the Vice President and the Cabinet. The Judicial Branch, headed by the Supreme Court, interprets laws to ensure they align with the Constitution.
