What are the symbols for the three branches of government?
What are the symbols for the Judicial, Executive, and Legislative Branch of government?
According to the US Constitution the courts are part of which of the three branches of government?
It is in the judicial branch. Article 3 of the Constitution vests the judicial power of the new government in the US Supreme Court. Article 3 goes on to authorize Congress to create other lower courts, like trial and appeals courts, as it sees fit.
What was the intention of the framers of the constitution in establishing of separation of powers?
The idea is that each of 3 branches has the power to exert some degree of restraint on the other 2 branches, so that if something goes wrong in the government, there is a way that it can be corrected. This principle is formally known as "checks and balances".
What system that makes sure no branch becomes too powerful?
In theory the separation of powers, which is interwoven into the constitutional fabric. there are three principle branches- the Legislative, which makes the laws, the executive, which carries them out- including the presidency, and the Judicial. There are overlaps and checks and balances familiar to all students of PAD ( problems of Americ an Democracy) The interlocks work like- well certain powers are denied to the states ( coining money, for example) states are not supposed to have border taxes for interstate commerce ( but, in practice they have tolls on tunnels and bridges which have the same effect) automobiles are still ( at this writing) licensed by individual states, but aircraft, ships and radios ( including amateur and CB sets) are federal. so it goes. there are a number of overlaps- I have mentioned the fact that border taxes are not only illegal but unconstitutional, but this is rationalized as maintenance fees on Bridges and tunnels- which often cross state lines! so it goes.
Why is there a government?
we have a government from staying out of anarchy which means total chaos. we need laws to keep everyone in line or else every thing goes wrong.
