The government, whether at the Federal, State, or Local levels is divided into three distinct branches: Legislative, Executive and Judicial. The Legislative branch writes laws, approves budgets, contracts, and appointed staff. At the Federal level, it is known collectively as Congress, and separately as the House of Representatives and the Senate. At the Local level it is known as County Commission or Commissioner's Court, City Council or a City Commission.

Although at times we view the executive branch as being all powerful, the reality is that the limits of each branch are constitutionally defined.
