The cabinet departments in the US government are included in which branch of government?
The Cabinet is what is known as the appointed Secretaries or Ministers responsible for various aspects of the Government of the ruling Party. In a democracy, an elected policitcal party may have many Members of Parliament representing it, often 200 or more- but it is the Prime Minister's choice who should be in charge of Home Affairs, Foreign Affairs, Energy, Justice, Social Security, the Environment, and so on. He or she, along with their advisers, decide upon who best to choose as the most suitable and fitting persons to fill these jobs. They all belong to the ruling Party, but it is they who have the final word upon decisions related to their mandate. It can best be described as a 'ruling Council within the elected Party', if that makes any sense- in an extreme situation, the Prime Minister CAN sack or dismiss a member of his Cabinet, but this would not be without questions or people asking 'Why'? Harold MacMillan did this in '61 because he was paranoid that some of his Cabinet members were plotting to unseat him, but it certain;y created a storm in both Parliament and th media.
