The Branches of the U.S. Government
by Michael Burgan
Review by Mark
The 13 American colonies had become independent states. The American states wanted their independence from Great Britain in 1783. The three branches of government are legislative, judicial, and executive. The legislative is made up of congress and the senate. The executive branch is made of the president. The judicial branch is made of the Supreme Court. The vice president serves as president of the senate. Party leaders decided which of their congressional members would sit on which committees. If you like civics you would like this book.
Mark, I never knew that the vice president serves as the president of the senate. But, I think you did an awesome job!!--Shayna
ReplyDeleteMark, I have always been fascinated by the way our government operates. Does the book talk about checks and balances? I think that I would enjoy this book, especially since I like Civics! :0), Mrs. Haas

ReplyDeleteI can already tell that there are things in this book that I haven't learned yet, and I'd love to learn a bit more. History is, after all, one of my favorite subjects!
