US Government

The US Government refers to the federal government of the United States, which is the national governing authority established by the Constitution. It is composed of three branches: the Legislative, which includes Congress (the House of Representatives and the Senate); the Executive, headed by the President; and the Judicial, which encompasses the Supreme Court and other federal courts. The primary functions of the US Government include creating and enforcing laws, managing national defense, conducting foreign relations, and regulating domestic affairs. It operates under the principles of democracy and federalism, where power is divided between national and state governments. The government is designed to serve the will of the people, ensuring rights and freedoms, and is accountable to the citizenry through elections and checks and balances among its branches.
