im just gonna help out the students by explaining the roles of each branch and who is in each..... legislative: comprised of 100 U.S. senators and 435 members in the U.S. House of Representatives (this is better known as the U.S. congress). The primary function of the legislative branch is to make laws but its also responsible for approving federal judges & justices, passing the national budget, and declaring war. Each state gets 2 senators and a certain amount of representatives depending on how many people live in that state executive: leaders of this branch are the President & Vice President who are responsible for enforcing the laws that congress sets forth. The President works closely with a group of advisors known as the Cabinet (these appointed helpers assist the President in making important decisions within their area of expertise; such as defense, the treasury, and homeland security). This branch also appoints government officals, commands the armed forces, and meets with leaders of other nations. The executive branch employs over 4 million people to get everything done judicial: comprised of all the courts in the land (from the federal district courts to the U.S. supreme court); these courts interpret our nations laws and punishes those who break them. The highest court, the Supreme Court, settles disputes among states, hears and appeals from state and federal courts, and determines if federal laws are constitutional. There are 9 justices on the Supreme Court and unlike any other job in our government, supreme court justices are appointed FOR LIFE, OR for as long as they want to stay.

Wavell Watson What type of democracy do we live in where bills are passed everyday and the majority( i.e. the people) do not know? Sounds like the fangs of a serpent biting the majority and they don't know or can't feel it.
I'd like to mention something that I wasn't aware of for quite some time, not every democracy uses separation of powers like we do. This has arguably created more stable systems, more democratic systems in some places. 1. Parliamentary versus presidential: America uses a presidential system where we vote (indirectly) for the chief executive. Parliamentary systems instead work through giving the legislature power over the chief executive. If a vote of no confidence reaches majority, the chief executive must resign. 2. Bicameral systems: There are four general types of bicameral systems, which are found by every combination of answers to these questions: are the chambers given equal power? Are they dominated by the different party? If you're answer to one of these is no, then you live in either weak or insignificant bicameral system. Some bicameral systems have taken so much power, usually from the upper house, that the upper house is practically just ceremonial. 3. The sliding scale: Let's take a political system and a character we'll refer to as "the representative." The representative wants to change something. How difficult is it for the representative to do so? Let's say the scale goes from 0-1, where 0 denotes perfect electocracy, where the elected serves as a practical dictator. 1, then, denotes perfect necrocracy, where the system is so thoroughly tied to the rules of the dead that you have no legitimate route to change the system. Neither of these systems are preferable, so there must be some sweet spot between them. I have reason to suspect that we are far too close to 1. First off, look at the constitution. The constitution is do hard to change that we've decided to just let the justices reinterpret it. I also notice that no civil rights movement has succeeded without, to put it lightly, a little trolling. 4. The blind spot of separation of powers: I think we give George Washington too much credit for prophesying the rise of political parties. Political parties are natural, and the system he made only exacerbated the problem by his distrust in the common people. Its like if Lenin said, "haha i sure hope that our belief in the dictatorship of the bourgeoisie, democratic centralism, and the vanguard party wont hurt the very workers we claim to protect that would be crrraaazzzyyy," and then we treat him like the messiah when the USSR did those human rights violations. Except Washington was a lot less bad and had better intentions. As it stands, if we want a law passed, then the president and both houses must align. We believed at the time that these powers would serve as separate institutions at opposite ends, but the real division is between parties. So, we have two options: the parties are aligned or unaligned. If the parties are aligned, then the system is not much different than if there were no checks and balances at all. If the parties are unaligned, then it is near impossible for any legislation to get through. Well, that's how it should work in theory anyway. This is just a rough outline of the issue 5. Presidential approaching dictatorship: Under presidentialism, if a president, the most powerful person in the country, starts encroaching their powers, you can't get rid of them easily. You could try impeaching them, but historically impeachment has always occurred on party lines. Many political scientists argue that presidential systems tend towards authoritarianism, which you might see in FDR or Donald Trump. This is because the system is winner takes all, where the winner can keep executive power unchallenged within this theater for four whole years. Not to mention, under parliamentary system the cabinet is often a combination of political parties, to reach 50%+1 votes.

No matter where I turn, I realize that literally everything has to change or will change due to a change to something else. It is a very hard thing to grasp, I think.
Very concise video. One error: the United States of America is NOT a democracy, but a constitutional federal republic. The difference: In a republic, a constitution or charter of rights protects certain inalienable rights that cannot be taken away by the government, even if it has been elected by a majority of voters. In a "pure democracy," the majority is not restrained in this way and can impose its will on the minority.
Hey, we watched this video in a German school in English class to understand this system better. You say, that the legislative branch's task also is to declare war. The exicutiv's task also is to defense the country. But to defense it, in most cases, you have to declare war. So, what's the difference about this point of the legislative and the judicative?
I don’t understand why we need to strictly distinct between legislative and executive branch? In the end execution is done by initiating laws. In parliamentary systems like Germany or austria, the first chamber of parliament elects the chancellor and his ministers, which are the executive. Also the second chamber of parliament is sent by state executives. So German legislative and executive branches are totally intermingled. The president of Germany is elected by both chambers of parliament, but he is more a representative figure and has no powers at all.
Great starter piece. Fun and informative. Democracy vs Republic now if you get a chance. I think the American people need an even more rudimentary understanding of WHY we do government the way we do in order to understand what it is they really want changed.
Wow. All this time I thought the principles in the US were different than everywhere else. Thanks to this video, I now know it's just a more complex version (because states are also included) of division of power, almost the same as in my tiny country.
The main point that people make is that the US was the first to divide power this way in the modern era. It is not unique for its structure of government, but unique in that it was the first large democracy since the Roman Republic.
I found this vid helpful as I'm not really up on the terminology for the different branches of the US government, but I think the narrator was mistaken in her history of the government's structure. The three-part government was not developed by the founding fathers, it's modeled directly on the UK government (or the equivalent of the time), except that the executive branch of government is headed by the president instead of king, and the senate replaces the house of lords.
The most important thing you must absolutely never ever forget about the government, no matter where you live, is this: The government works for us, we pay them to make good for all of us, yes, even you don't like. The moment you let your government forget this it all falls to bits. This was the greatest innovation in modern political history, to see the government not as a racketing money machine lead by a capo di tutti but a service state.
Just because your friends and family are idiots doesn't mean the country is but If being idiots means having a the biggest military, huge economy, political importance, and cultural impact then by all means. I highly doubt your american but if you are then move, no one's stopping you.
Great video! it will help me with my Social Studies class. The answer to change or improve our government depends on our involvement. Get involved, participate , vote and pray for our leaders. God bless America! :D
actually the founding father wanted a weak central government where most of the power belong to each state. The separation of the government is one example of many. When the first laws came to be in the United States the central government was so weak that it had no power to print money or to rise an army, and the requirement to create federal law is so high, it was almost impossible to pass any legislation. This lead to each state have their own currency, military, and laws. In reality the early days of America is just like ancient Greeks. City-state-like (only more difference is more than one major city per state)
At 2:46 you say: "These courts interpret our nation's laws and punish those who break them." I have always believed that the judiciary had no power to enforce laws or judgments. In each case, they enunciate a decision, but it is the Executive who has the authority and mandate to carry out the sentence. Even in capital punishments, it is the executive who executes the condemned. I understood that all penitentiaries were under the management of the executive. That was part of the reason why the President and Governors have the power to issue pardons. Was I wrong?
The House of Representatives is set at 435. Even if we add new states, this number does not change, but will be apportioned according to state populations. The number of Senators is not set, and if new states are added, each will get two Senators. In 1959 there were 96 Senators, but adding AK and HI as new states brought the total to 100, where it currently stands.
I thought about that, but the video seems to be geared more towards Americans and being informed. I'm sure there's some Americans who don't know this stuff, but let's be honest...they're not the type to be watching TED videos.
How do you mean? SCOTA Judges are by they very nature political as they are appointed by the president. If the president is republican he'll appoint a conservative judge, if the president is a democrat he'll appoint a progressive judge.
The American presidential system has one huge issue. It can make the legislative branch of government dysfunctional. It can easily merge the executive branch and the judicial branch together. What do we have in these two cases? Why, of course, dictatorship. This is why some people say that the American presidential system is more oppressive than the Chinese single party system.
The problem isnn't the system. The problem is there are too many uneducated stupid citizens who do nothing but bicker amongst their dim-witted selves about details.- while the entire U.S. Ship sinks. Can't see the forest because the trees are in the way.
not really. Congress is integrated into many states and need a majority to pass laws. potus vetos a law. and judicial branch interprets the constitution.

Greetings from Mr Axel Vasa the west coast wizard himself, I got something essential to share with you, The power to change your life lies within you. Trust in your abilities and take bold actions. Love you so much ❤
Separation of powers was seen (correctly) initially as a anarchic idea incompatible with sovereignty. In practice if you have a government you need a institition which can take inapellable decisions and thus which the boss of any other. Currently in USA it seems to be (at least in paper) supreme court.
1:00 The “separation of powers” or “system of checks and balances” dictum has got to be biggest myth of American politics... If the Federal or any state legislature enacts a law, BY DEFINITION, this law EXPANDS the power of the executive, law enforcement and the courts, IOWs it expands the power of the OTHER 2 branches... Why exactly would EITHER of the other 2 branches “check” the power of the third which has granted ALL 3 of them more power???
The number of representatives was supposed to grow with the population. But in 1910 the stopped the growth of representatives to keep the people from becoming to powerful. This needs fixed back.

As someone that's from the UK where the political system is MUCH simpler than the US', this video helped a lot! Thanks!
Not really, your PM does absolutely nothing
Easily corrupted *
I found this vid helpful as I'm not really up on the terminology for the different branches of the US government, but I think the narrator was mistaken in her history of the government's structure. The three-part government was not developed by the founding fathers, it's modeled directly on the UK government (or the equivalent of the time), except that the executive branch of government is headed by the president instead of king, and the senate replaces the house of lords.
This is an excellent video. May I have permission to use it in my curriculum? Thanks for your consideration.
Hey Deana how are you doing today?
Hello how are you doing today
Hey how you doing today
The most important thing you must absolutely never ever forget about the government, no matter where you live, is this:
The government works for us, we pay them to make good for all of us, yes, even you don't like. The moment you let your government forget this it all falls to bits.
This was the greatest innovation in modern political history, to see the government not as a racketing money machine lead by a capo di tutti but a service state.
Thank you from arab Algeria🌹
Hello how are you doing today
I am from India and I appreciate FOUNDERS of US constitution, for there unbiased structure of administration.
involved, informed, and intelligent. Everything the vast majority of my fellow Americans are not. Our countrys fucked!
+K- Ainmé yup
Just because your friends and family are idiots doesn't mean the country is but If being idiots means having a the biggest military, huge economy, political importance, and cultural impact then by all means. I highly doubt your american but if you are then move, no one's stopping you.

Thanatos the public school system doesn't matter if the students don't care.
In school I received 10 pages of text. Here I have all the information from the text in 4 minutes. Easy and squeeze! Thanks xx
Great video! it will help me with my Social Studies class. The answer to change or improve our government depends on our involvement. Get involved, participate , vote and pray for our leaders. God bless America! :D
Yeah it is and I can't believe it took me 8 years to come across this video
Hi Elizabeth 👋 how are you doing
This was the best way to teach American government, wth we need twelve years of school for when we have TH-cam.
actually the founding father wanted a weak central government where most of the power belong to each state. The separation of the government is one example of many. When the first laws came to be in the United States the central government was so weak that it had no power to print money or to rise an army, and the requirement to create federal law is so high, it was almost impossible to pass any legislation. This lead to each state have their own currency, military, and laws. In reality the early days of America is just like ancient Greeks. City-state-like (only more difference is more than one major city per state)
Great informational video!
is an very good video
At 2:46 you say: "These courts interpret our nation's laws and punish those who break them." I have always believed that the judiciary had no power to enforce laws or judgments. In each case, they enunciate a decision, but it is the Executive who has the authority and mandate to carry out the sentence. Even in capital punishments, it is the executive who executes the condemned. I understood that all penitentiaries were under the management of the executive. That was part of the reason why the President and Governors have the power to issue pardons. Was I wrong?
Hello
Good question
great one! Perfect for my lesson.
Yeah this is really amazing. well how are you doing today Janette?
Janette there's one question I need to ask you
Do you think we are the most powerful country?

Lol same
Hunter Onken I know you from school

The House of Representatives is set at 435. Even if we add new states, this number does not change, but will be apportioned according to state populations. The number of Senators is not set, and if new states are added, each will get two Senators. In 1959 there were 96 Senators, but adding AK and HI as new states brought the total to 100, where it currently stands.
This is how it is supposed to be but not how it is anymore. The government is supposed to protect the rights of the people not take them away.
Your speaking right now, so clearly your not being oppressed.
john roig just because you can speak doesn't mean you aren't oppressed
Soooo easy to understand omg thank you!!!

In the Netherlands, where we have a similar, almost identical system, we call this Trias Politica, from Latin, translated: The political triad

*Das Soziale*

U.S: oil?
But seriously besides memes I hope your situation gets better. From the U.S 🇺🇸.
I thought about that, but the video seems to be geared more towards Americans and being informed. I'm sure there's some Americans who don't know this stuff, but let's be honest...they're not the type to be watching TED videos.
OMG: Its Trump! 0:22
We're dead.
I think it's Bush, but maybe.
Organon
rip
D:
Great info!👍🏼
Yeah. Well how you doing today Carla?
Well here’s me revising last minute for my modern studies prelim
Hi Beth, how are you?
Hey your animation was extradionary 😍😁
Appointing someone for life, especially a supreme court justice, sounds like a terrible idea. Anyway, good video, TED-ed!
Well the reason they do it is because they don't want the judges to be affected by political influence
How do you mean? SCOTA Judges are by they very nature political as they are appointed by the president. If the president is republican he'll appoint a conservative judge, if the president is a democrat he'll appoint a progressive judge.
+Mark Arandjus well it's also used so a judge isn't kicked out because they opose the view of the current system and vote differently
This is a such a good one!
I love the sound of laptop mics.
Sir please make videos on Indian polity, like you are doing on the USA
The American presidential system has one huge issue. It can make the legislative branch of government dysfunctional. It can easily merge the executive branch and the judicial branch together. What do we have in these two cases? Why, of course, dictatorship.
This is why some people say that the American presidential system is more oppressive than the Chinese single party system.
The problem isnn't the system. The problem is there are too many uneducated stupid citizens who do nothing but bicker amongst their dim-witted selves about details.- while the entire U.S. Ship sinks. Can't see the forest because the trees are in the way.
I guess it's very unpleasant for Americans. Thank goodness I'm a Canadian.
not really. Congress is integrated into many states and need a majority to pass laws.
potus vetos a law.
and judicial branch interprets the constitution.
Congress can also over ride a veto
Anthony Marquez Unless it Is Out of Session In Terms of Congress [AKA Not Returning It to Congress On Time [Or at All While it is out of Session [In Which Case If it is Out of session When the Time Limit is Expiring [Which Even if The Congress Has People To Collect it While out of session] Means That The Government Has to Draft the Law Again Then Have Him Return it While its in session [Or Should He Not Return it While it is In Session It Will Automatically Become law Should He Not Return it] An example of a Person Making use of Said veto That i Just Gave a [Pocket Veto] Is Calvin Coolidge [Who Blocked a Fair Amount of laws And Bills As He Said [i Believe Anyways] It is More important to Block bad Bills Than to Sign Good Ones
Why have school when you have Ted ed

noah est plus gros
Separation of powers was seen (correctly) initially as a anarchic idea incompatible with sovereignty. In practice if you have a government you need a institition which can take inapellable decisions and thus which the boss of any other. Currently in USA it seems to be (at least in paper) supreme court.
Trop bien tu as utile ma 4g
1:00
The “separation of powers” or “system of checks and balances” dictum has got to be biggest myth of American politics...
If the Federal or any state legislature enacts a law, BY DEFINITION, this law EXPANDS the power of the executive, law enforcement and the courts, IOWs it expands the power of the OTHER 2 branches...
Why exactly would EITHER of the other 2 branches “check” the power of the third which has granted ALL 3 of them more power???
They forgot the 4th branch:
The media!
that would be under executive
@@asahel980 if a democrat is in office!
You mean Facebook right?
INTELIGENCE IS KEY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I just want to know an example of an Organized Government! D:
Omg same
Why does the "president" looks like Trump this video was made in 2013 lol
also the red hat on the citizen looks like a MAGA hat !
Time travel
Fantastic Video. Keep it up TED-Ed
The number of representatives was supposed to grow with the population. But in 1910 the stopped the growth of representatives to keep the people from becoming to powerful. This needs fixed back.
Who is the holder of executive power in the U.S. ? Who helps him/her make decisions ?

I don't know what "democracy" she was describing...
Woww what an explanation great work ❤️👍
and Lieberman :D
I believe what I believe based on fact that I have researched or looked up, not what I've been told, especially by government. (even though looking things up is partially the same as looking for things to be told)
How Power Is Divided In The United States Government :
Corporations Fund Presidential Candidates
Once one of these Candidates becomes President
The Corporation who funded that President then tells that said President what to do.
The President Complys with no thought for the common people
Repeat this Process every 4 years
God Bless America
#PrayHilaryDies
Well said
Nah. The US President isn't the King of Saudi Arabia. The power of President is heavily restricted by the House of Representatives and the US senate. Where nearly all of its members were bought off by companies (Republican and Democrats alike)
You are ignorant.
instead of calling him ignorant, make your points Leonid.
What happens when the corporation IS the presidency?
Trump, you've doomed us all.
