The largest branch of the US government is the Legislative Branch.It is made up of two houses: Congress, and the House of Representatives.Congress has a population of 100. It has equal representation, meaning each of the 50 states is allowed 2 senators each.The House of Representatives is based on proportional representation, meaning the number of representatives given to a state is determined by that state's population. There are a total of 435 representatives.Since there are 100 senators and 435 representatives, the Legislative Branch has a total of 535 people.On the other hand, the Executive Branch has one person (the President) along with his handful of cabinet members, and the Judicial Branch (the Supreme Court) is made up of 9 judges.Therefore, the Legislative Branch is the largest branch of the US government.But there has been many argument about which one is bigger between Legislative and Executive.
