8/13/2019 The 15 Departments of the US Executive Branch

1/2

The government structure of the usa is ivided in three branches; The Legislative, the Executive and the Judicial branch.

In the United States of America, the head of government (the US President) shares his powers with Congress and the

Judiciary system which are independent on each other but at the same time depend on each others decisions to

function correctly . The country is a Federal constitutional Republic therefore the constitution is the supreme law of the

land. There are many differences between the US Democracy and that of other countries since every state of the Union

holds enough power to make their own reforms as long as it does not contradict the Constitutional powers and the

country is mainly ruled by two political parties. The constitution of the United States explains the form of government

that should be followed. Thank you for visiting us. The U.S. Government Structure is a webpage designed with thepurpose of providing another learning and research tool about every aspect of the US Government political

organization. We hope you find what you are looking for., please visit ourarticle page and a section in which we publish

what we consideredremarkable speeches that influenced our society.
