American Government exams often test whether you can match a specific power or process to the right branch or level of government, and it's easy to mix up similar-sounding checks and balances. Cambo explains which branch or clause a scenario actually points to, not just the vocabulary term.
Typically the structure and powers of the three branches, the Constitution and its amendments, federalism, civil liberties and civil rights, elections, and the roles of political parties and interest groups.
Legislative (Congress, which makes laws), Executive (the President, who enforces laws), and Judicial (the courts, which interpret laws).
