The Legislative power is responsible for making laws. Only they can, no other branch or power can. They can’t make any law they want though. There has to be some restrictions. The laws have to benefit the public and freedoms have to be looked out for. Taxes can’t be raised on property without the consent of the people. If anybody tries to impose a law without right or discussion from the people they will be punished. People don’t have to follow the law if it wasn’t created by the Legislative power,but instead a third party. The Legislative branch has to look out and protect the people when it comes to making laws. They have to look after…

First, I am going to take a look at the division of power within the American government by starting off with the legislative branch. The legislative branch is responsible for coming up with the laws. In Article I of the U.S. Constitution states, "All legislative Powers shall be vested in a Congress of the United States and the House of Representatives." The U.S. congress is divided into the House of Representatives, known as the lower house, and the Senate, known as the upper house. The Congress' role in the government is to legislate- to make laws. The laws enacted by Congress are called statutes. The U.S. Constitution gives Congress the power to make laws (Theodore J. Lowi).…

English philosopher John Locke viewed the power of the legislature as the most basic and important branch of government. The theory behind the legislature is that it will enact laws that will allocate values for society. The legislature works to makes laws, educate, represent, supervise, and make criticisms of the government. Most of the work of the United States Legislature is done in committee, where the real power of the legislature is held. Most legislation originates in governmental departments and agencies. In committees, a majority vote decides and often, compromise must be reached in order for a bill or law to survive committee action. This frequently requires that a delegate alter his position in order to achieve a compromise. This compromise may or may not reflect the wishes of the people he/she represents.…
The legislative branch is the most powerful branch in government. The legislative branch is in charge of making and passing laws. They have the power to override a president’s decision, stop laws from being passed, and basically control all decisions the governments makes. The legislative branch, also called the congress, consists of the House of Representatives and the senate. The reason for two houses of congress is to balance out the concerns of smaller but more populated states against states that are larger but with less population (www.Usgovinfo.com).…

The Constitution grants all legislative power to the Congress. The Congress is bicameral and a bill has to pass both houses: the House of Representatives and the Senate. In this way the houses check and balance each other. Both the executive and the judicial branch check and balance the Congress ' legislative power. Although only the Congress can make laws, the President has the power to veto bills, in which case the bill can only pass with a 2/3 majority in both houses. Finally, if the Congress and the President agree on a law, the Supreme Court has the power of interpreting the laws and a power of review, i.e. the Supreme Court can declare a law unconstitutional and therefore void. As chief administrator the President is required to see that laws are carried out, to enforce…
The US federal legislature is bicameral, therefore it consists of the Senate and the House of Representatives, and in theory they should both be of equal power. However, in reality it is the Senate which is considered to hold the most power, although there are arguments to in favour of them having equal rights. In order to reach a balanced judgement I will consider both sides of the argument, beginning with the claim that the Senate is more powerful than the House of Representatives.…
None of the three branches can make laws or do something without the approval of the other two, this system is called the system of checks and Balances. Congress can pass the law but president can veto the law if he thinks it is unconstitutional, congress can override the president’s veto by getting two-thirds of majority. But even with the approval of the president and congress, still the Supreme Court can come in and say that the law is unconstitutional. The president is considered powerful because he is the head of the whole Executive branch alone.…
The U.S. government is made up of three separate but equal branches, legislative, executive and judicial. To understand how the government functions it is necessary to understand the function of each branch and hoe they relate to each other.…
If the federal government is truly made up of the people it governs, it should be given enough power to enforce laws, protect our borders and represent the country in foreign affairs. After that level, power should be a matter of local governments, such as states, to have more power than the federal government for its populace. The federal government should be the check and balance in local government while at the same time the local governments check and balances the federal. The constitution tries to create this check and balance uniting the states and helping to enforce reasonable laws across state lines and rejecting unreasonable laws created by individual states.…
Based on the facts that it can regulate commerce, overturn vetoes, approve treaties, declare war, manage funds, impeach officials and of course, make laws, it is clear that when put up against the other Branches, the Legislative holds the most power above them all. The first article of the constitution details the Branch and all it does and it still uses the full extent of it’s power to be the most influential…
