Who Really Has All the PowerAt the outset of the creation of the Constitution, our founding father's goals were to establish a federal government and to outline a equal distribution of power within our government. (Michelsen, 2010). It was implemented by creating three branches which had to coincide with each other to function. Each branch has its own powers, duties, and responsibilities that affect how the government works. Executive branch, which is concerned with the execution of laws. The legislative, which creates the laws and the judiciary which interprets the laws. The constitution establishes their powers and their control over each other, and it is obvious that the legislative has the most power over all other branches. “Congress, as one of three co-equal branches of government, is granted significant powers by the Constitution.” (“white house”) Article I of the Constitution is easily recognized as the longest article of the Constitution due to its length or quantity. This article explains how the legislative branch should be created, how the people who work for the branch should be elected, and lists the powers it has. Compared to the lists of the other two branches, the legislative branch has considerably the greatest number of listed powers. “The Founders thought the Legislature would be the most powerful branch of government because it is closest to the people, which is why the Founders spent so much time discussing the qualifications of members of the legislature” (“Understanding the States Constitution United United"). The article with the most analysis of the purpose of its branch would likely have the most dominant and influential powers. One of the strongest legislative powers is congress...... middle of paper...... ate, but their ability to carry them out is sometimes unsuccessful. Works Cited Mount, S..
