Our national government has enacted public
policies to deal with social problems throughout American history. Our government contains three branches:
legislative, executive, and judicial.
|
The legislative branch...
Congress
has passed laws to deal with social problems.
|
|
|
|
The executive branch…
is led the President. Policy actions include developing treaties, issuing executive orders, commanding U.S. troops and recommending what laws
should be passed by Congress.
|
|
The judicial branch…
consists of our federal courts.
The U.S. Supreme Court is the highest court. It has the power to declare laws of
Congress to be unconstitutional.
