SECTION1What You Will Learn Main Ideas1. The framers of the Constitution devised the federalsystem.2. The legislative branch makesthe nation’s laws.3. The executive branch enforces the nation’s laws.4. The judicial branch determines whether or not lawsare constitutional.Understandingthe ConstitutionIf YOU were there.You have just been elected to the U.S. House of Representatives.You know that committees do much of the work in Congress. Theydeal with many different fields such as foreign policy, agriculture,national security, science, and education. You would like to ask for aspot on a committee whose work interests you.Which committee would you ask to serve on?BUILDING BACKGROUND When the framers of the ConstitutionThe Big IdeaThe U.S. Constitution balancesthe powers of the federal government among the legislative,executive, and judicial branches.Key Terms and Peoplefederal system, p. 144impeach, p. 146veto, p. 146executive orders, p. 147pardons, p. 147Thurgood Marshall, p. 148Sandra Day O’Connor, p. 148HSS 8.2.6 Enumerate the powers ofgovernment set forth in the Constitutionand the fundamental liberties ensuredby the Bill of Rights.144CHAPTER 5met in Philadelphia in 1787, they created a national government withthree branches that balance one another’s powers.The Federal SystemThe framers of the Constitution wanted to create a governmentpowerful enough to protect the rights of citizens and defend thecountry against its enemies. To do so, they set up a federal systemof government, a system that divided powers between the statesand the federal government.The Constitution assigns certain powers to the national government. These are called delegated powers. Among them are the rightsto coin money and to regulate trade. Reserved powers are those keptby the states. These powers include creating local governments andholding elections. Concurrent powers are those shared by the federaland state governments. They include taxing, borrowing money, andenforcing laws.Sometimes, Congress has had to stretch its delegated powers todeal with new or unexpected issues. A clause in the Constitutionstates that Congress may “make all Laws which shall be necessaryand proper” for carrying out its duties. This clause, called the elasticclause—because it can be stretched (like elastic)—provides flexibilityfor the government.READING CHECK Summarizing How is power divided between thefederal and state governments?

Separation of PowersU.S. ConstitutionLegislative Branch(Congress) Writes the laws Confirms presidentialappointments Approves treaties Grants money Declares warExecutive Branch(President) Proposes lawsAdministers the lawsCommands armed forcesAppoints ambassadorsand other officials Conducts foreign policy Makes treatiesLegislative BranchThe federal government has three branches,each with distinct responsibilities and powers.This separation balances the branches andkeeps any one of them from growing toopowerful. The first branch of government isthe legislative branch, or Congress. It makesthe nation’s laws. Article I of the Constitutiondivides Congress into the House of Representatives and the Senate.With 435 members, the House of Representatives is the larger congressional house.The U.S. Census, a population count madeevery 10 years, determines how many members represent each state. A system calledapportionment keeps total membership at435. If one state gains a member, anotherstate loses one. Members must be at least 25years old, live in the state where they wereelected, and have been U.S. citizens for sevenyears. They serve two-year terms.The Senate has two members, or senators,per state. Senators represent the interests ofthe whole state, not just a district. They mustbe at least 30 years old, have been U.S. citizensfor nine years, and live in the state they represent. They serve six-year terms. The seniorsenator of a state is the one who has servedJudicial Branch(Supreme Court) Interprets the Constitutionand other laws Reviews lower-court decisionsthe longer of the two. Members of Congresscan serve an unlimited number of terms.The political party with more membersin each house is the majority party. The onewith fewer members is the minority party.The leader of the House of Representatives,or Speaker of the House, is elected by Housemembers from the majority party.The U.S. vice president serves as president of the Senate. He takes no part in Senate debates but can vote to break ties. If he isabsent, the president pro tempore (pro temfor short) leads the Senate. There is no lawfor how the Senate must choose this position,but it traditionally goes to the majority party’s senator who has served the longest.Congress begins sessions, or meetings,each year in the first week of January. Bothhouses do most of their work in committees. Each committee studies certain types ofbills, or suggested laws. For example, all billsabout taxes begin in the House Ways andMeans G CHECK Comparing and ContrastingWhat are the similarities in requirements formembers of the House of Representatives and theSenate? What are the differences?CITIZENSHIP AND THE CONSTITUTION145

Checks and BalancesExecutive Branch (President)Legislative Branch (Congress)Checks on:Executive Branch May reject appointments May reject treaties May withhold funding for presidential initiatives May impeach president May override a vetoJudicial Branch May propose constitutional amendmentsto overrule judicial decisions May impeach Supreme Court justicesChecks on:Legislative Branch May adjourn Congress in certain situations May veto billsJudicial Branch Appoints judgesExecutive BranchArticle II of the Constitution lists the powersof the executive branch. This branch enforcesthe laws passed by Congress.President and Vice PresidentAs head of the executive branch, the president is the most powerful elected leader in theUnited States. To qualify for the presidencyor vice presidency, one must be a native-bornU.S. citizen at least 35 years old. The president must also have been a U.S. resident for14 years.Americans elect a president and vice president every four years. Franklin D. Roosevelt,who won four times, was the only presidentto serve more than two terms. Now, theTwenty-second Amendment limits presidentsto two terms. If a president dies, resigns, oris removed from office, the vice presidentbecomes president for the rest of the term.146CHAPTER 5Judicial Branch (Supreme Court)Checks on:Executive Branch May declare executive actions unconstitutionalLegislative Branch May declare laws unconstitutionalThe House of Representatives canimpeach, or vote to bring charges of seriouscrimes against, a president. Impeachmentcases are tried in the Senate. If a presidentis found guilty, Congress can remove himfrom office. In 1868 Andrew Johnsonwas the first president to be impeached.President Bill Clinton was impeached in1998. However, the Senate found each mannot guilty.Working with CongressThe president and Congress are often on different sides of an issue. However, they muststill work together.Congress passes laws. The president,however, can ask Congress to pass or rejectcancel,bills. The president also can veto, or cancellaws Congress has passed. Congress can tryto override, or undo, the veto. However,this is difficult since it takes a two-thirds

majority vote. To carry out laws affectingthe Constitution, treaties, and statutes, thepresident issues executive orders. Thesecommands have the power of law. Thepresident also may grant pardons , or freedom from punishment, to persons convictedof federal crimes or facing criminal charges.The president also commands the armedforces. In emergencies, the president can callon U.S. troops. Only Congress, however, candeclare war. Other executive duties includeconducting foreign relations and creatingtreaties. Executive departments do most ofthe executive branch work. As of 2004 therewere 15 such departments. The presidentchooses department heads, who are calledsecretaries, and the Senate approves them.The heads make up the cabinet, whichadvises the president.READING CHECK Drawing ConclusionsWhat is the president’s most important power?Judicial BranchThe third branch of government, the judicial branch, is made up of a system of federalcourts headed by the U.S. Supreme Court.The Constitution created the Supreme Court,but the Judiciary Act of 1789 created the system of lower district and circuit courts.Article III generally outlines the courts’duties. Federal courts can strike down a stateor federal law if the court finds a law unconstitutional. Congress can then try to revisethe law to make it constitutional.District CourtsThe president makes appointments to federalcourts. In an effort to keep federal judges freeof party influence, the judges are given lifeappointments. The lower federal courts aredivided according to cases over which theyhave jurisdiction, or authority. Each state hasat least one of the 94 district courts.Circuit RidingBackground of the CourtThe rest of the Supreme CourtDecisions you see in this book willhighlight important cases of theCourt. But in this first one, we’lldiscuss the history of the Court.The first Supreme Court met in1790 at the Royal Exchange in NewYork City. The ground floor of thisbuilding was an open-air market.When the national governmentmoved to Philadelphia, the Courtmet in basement rooms in Independence Hall. Once in Washington, the Court heard cases in theCapitol building until the presentSupreme Court building was completed in 1932.THE IMPACTToday the Supreme Court holds courtonly in Washington, D.C. In the past,however, the justices had to travelthrough assigned circuits, hearing casestogether with a district judge in a practice known as riding circuit.The justices complained bitterlyabout the inconvenience of travel, whichwas often over unpaved roads and inbad weather. This system was not justinconvenient to the justices, however.Some people worried about the fairnessof a system that required justices whohad heard cases at trial to rule on themagain on appeal. Other people, however,thought that the practice helped keepthe justices in touch with the needs andfeelings of the average citizen. Eventually,TODAYIn 2002 the newDepartment ofHomelandSecurity wasgiven cabinetlevel status toprotect againstterrorism.circuit riding interfered so much withthe increased amount of business of theSupreme Court that Congress passed alaw ending the practice in the late 1800s.Path to the Supreme CourtWhen a case is decided by a state orfederal court, the losing side may havea chance to appeal the decision to ahigher court. Under the federal system,this higher court is called the court ofappeals. A person who loses in thatcourt may then appeal to the SupremeCourt to review the case. But theSupreme Court does not have to acceptall appeals. It usually chooses to hearonly cases in which there is an important legal principle to be decided or iftwo federal courts of appeals disagreeon how an issue should be decided.ANALYSISSKILL ANALYZING INFORMATION1. What are two reasons why the practice of circuit riding ended?2. Why do you think the Supreme Court does not hear every casethat is appealed to it?CITIZENSHIP AND THE CONSTITUTION147

FOCUS ONREADINGJot down a shortsummary of theappeals processafter reading thisparagraph.Courts of AppealsIf someone convicted of a crime believes thetrial was unfair, he or she may take the caseto the court of appeals. There are 13 courts ofappeals. Each has a panel of judges to decideif cases heard in the lower courts were triedappropriately. If the judges uphold, or accept,the original decision, the original outcomestands. Otherwise, the case may be retried inthe lower court.Supreme CourtTHE IMPACTTODAYSupreme Courtrulings can havedramatic effectson the nation, asin Bush v. Gore,which decidedthe outcome ofthe 2000 presidential election.After a case is decided by the court of appeals,the losing side may appeal the decision tothe Supreme Court. Thousands of cases goto the Supreme Court yearly in the hope ofa hearing, but the Court has time to hearonly about 100. Generally, the cases heardinvolve important constitutional or publicinterest issues. If the Court declines to heara case, the court of appeals decision is final.Nine justices sit on the Supreme Court.The chief justice of the United States leads theCourt. Unlike the president and members ofCongress, there are no specific constitutionalrequirements to become a justice.In recent decades, the Supreme Courthas become more diverse. In 1967 ThurgoodMarshall became the first African Americanjustice. Sandra Day O’Connor became the firstfemale Court justice after her 1981 appointment by President Ronald Reagan.READING CHECK Summarizing Describe thestructure and responsibilities of the judicial branch.SUMMARY AND PREVIEW In this sectionyou learned about the balance between thedifferent branches of the federal government.
