US Constitution: The Separation of Powers in the U.S. Government

The video explains the framework of the US federal government, which is divided into three branches: legislative, executive, and judicial. Each branch has distinct roles and operates independently. The legislative branch, composed of Congress, creates laws and manages the budget. The executive branch, led by the President, enforces laws and manages foreign relations. The judicial branch, headed by the Supreme Court, interprets laws. The video also discusses the importance of cooperation between branches and historical challenges to their separation.
