The 3 branches of government infographic shows that the Constitution provides a separation of powers into the 3 branches. The Legislative Branch makes laws and includes the Senate (made of 100 elected Senators total; 2 per state) and the House of Representatives (made of 435 elected representatives total; the number of representatives per state is based on that state's population). The Executive Branch carries out the laws and is made of the President and the Vice President and Cabinet at the next level. The Cabinet is made up of members who are nominated by the president and approved by the Senate by at least 51 votes. The Judicial Branch evaluates the laws and is made up of the Supreme Court of 9 justices (each of whom are nominated by the president and approved by the Senate with at least 51 votes) and other federal courts.
