Explanation:

In the U.S. government, the executive branch carries out laws. The judicial branch interprets what laws mean. Congress has two - houses (e.g., Senate and House of Representatives) that make laws. The Supreme Court is the highest court for determining constitutionality of laws. A presidential veto is when the President rejects a law. The Constitution is the plan for how the U.S. government works. Checks and balances is the system where each branch can limit the others.
