Three Branches of American Government

Three Branches of American Government
The origins of the American government are traced all the way back to the struggle between British colonists and the British monarch. The thirteen colonies were growing rapidly, and had been creating their own political and legal systems. The British monarchy imposed a series of taxes on the colonists, and ignored the colonies argument of taxation required representation. After parliament created a punishment to end self-government in Massachusetts, the thirteen colonies joined together in a congress that led to an armed conflict in April of 1775. The next year on July 4, 1776, the Declaration of Independence was adopted by congress and drafted by Thomas Jefferson, and the American government was born.
The American government is a simple yet complex system comprised of three different branches: Legislative Branch, Executive Branch, and Judicial Branch. To understand how each of these branches work, it is essential to understand what a government is. Government is, the institution through which a society makes and enforces its public policies.

Without these three branches America’s government would be chaos.
