Congress is made up of people just like you and me. You can get elected for office as well. You can click the visual below to make it bigger and read about who in in our Congress. In addition, check out the video - a day in the life of a Congressman. If you need further help, the reading assignment and the powerpoint from class are at the bottom of the page!

The Constitution was written so that no one branch would have all the power. So instead of one central government, like a King, the United States would have three branches and divide the power (separation of powers) of the government. I found this great guided lesson here: https://www.wisc-online.com/learn/social-science/political-science/soc5904/the-duties-of-the-three-branches-of-government It also has a quiz to test your knowledge. At the very bottom of this post, you will see your favorite rap guys - talking about the three branches. |
