Overview of U.S. Government Structure
The structure of the U.S. government consists of three branches: the executive, the legislature, and the judiciary. The executive branch, led by the president, enforces laws and encompasses federal agencies such as the SEC and CFTC. The legislative branch, composed of Congress, is responsible for creating laws, which are compiled in the United States Code as federal statutes. Finally, the judiciary interprets laws through federal courts, ensuring fair application and resolution of disputes.
