Legislative, executive, and judicial are the three branches. The legislative branch, which consists of a senate and house of representatives, makes laws. The president and vice-president make up the executive branch, which is the branch mainly responsible for enforcing laws. Finally, there is the judicial branch. In the judicial branch, there is the Supreme Court and many smaller courts. The judicial branch is responsible for interpretting laws; this is all according to Document B, also written by James Madison. In a nutshell, seperation of powers guards against tyranny because it divides the powers into three branches so no branch can overpower
