• observed

• enumerated

• written

• elastic

The main job of the legislative branch is to

• resolve disputes involving the law

• enforce and carry out federal laws

• make laws needed for the country

• obey laws once they are passed

The most important task of the executive branch is to

• resolve disputes involving the law

• enforce and carry out federal laws

• decide which laws are constitutional

• change laws to fit changing needs

The judicial branch is responsible for

• resolving disputes under the law

• putting federal laws into effect

• vetoing laws it doesn't like

• making new laws to stop crime

The "elastic clause" gives Congress the power to

• make adjustments as times change

• declare actions of the president unconstitutional

• veto decisions of the Supreme Court

• pass laws needed to carry out its other powers
