  2. Our Government Our government is made up of three branches. It uses checks and balances and separation of powers to ensure no individual branch becomes too powerful. Judicial: Makes sure laws aren't unconstitutional. Legislative: Makes laws. There are two parts, House of Representatives and Senate. Executive: Carries out and recommends new federal laws.

  3. Judicial Branch Our Supreme Court is made up of nine justices. As a Supreme Court Justice you can stay there for life, or until you retire. The nine justices names are: Antonin Scalia, Anthony Kennedy, Clarence Thomas, Ruth Bader Ginsburg, Samuel A. Alito Jr., Sonia Sotomayer, Elena Kagen, and our Chief Justice, John Roberts.
