The LEGISLATIVE (note spelling) branch of the U.S. government, or essentially any governments in the United States, is the part of the government that makes the laws. Proposed laws known as bills may be submitted by the President but also are submitted by members of the legislature. The legislature then decides what proposed bills should be approved and become law and which should not. The legislature consists of a number of people; in the U.S. federal government, Congress is the legislative branch, and it includes 100 members of the Senate (2 from each state) and 435 members of the House of Representatives, each person representing a part of a state (or sometimes, if the state does not have many people, one person represents the entire state in the House of Representatives).

The executive branch (in the U.S. government, that includes the President and all the agencies of the government) is supposed to carry out the laws that the legislative branch has created.
