The U.S. History textbook (chapter 8) presents the United States Constitution and the 3 branches of government in the Constitution. Be looking out for the key words in the text, such as 'key terms.' Make note on all three branches of governments as this will help you for your assignment. In this assignment, each branch of government will be represented by a specific color (red =legislative branch, green =executive branch, yellow =judicial branch). I will ask 10 questions regarding the different branches of
government. To answer the
question, you will paste the color in the column next to the question. Refer to the Prezi Powerpoint for an example of what I am looking for. Each

Critical Thinking Question:
Of the three branches of U.S. government, which one is the most powerful according to you? Explain your view by comparing the three branches with regards to their expressed powers found in the Constitution, their checks and balances toward each other, their separation of power, etc. You may want to tie in how the media and interest groups make them more or less powerful as well.
