Special Section - GUIDE TO THE UNITED STATES GOVERNMENT
The Government of the United States of America, established by the United States Constitution, is a federal republic of individual states. The laws of the United States are laid out in Acts of Congress, administrative regulations, and judicial cases interpreting the statutes and regulations. The federal government has three branches: the Executive, Legislative, and Judicial. Through a system of separation of powers or "checks and balances", each of these branches has some authority to act on its own, some authority to regulate the other two branches, and has some of its own authority, in turn, regulated by the other branches.
