The executive branch is responsible for enforcing laws and managing the day-to-day operations of the government. It is headed by the President in the United States, who oversees various departments and agencies that implement policies and administer public services. The legislative branch creates laws and is made up of elected representatives. In the U.S., this includes the Congress, which consists of two houses: the Senate and the House of Representatives. The judicial branch interprets laws and ensures they are applied fairly, with the Supreme Court being the highest court in the land.
