Congress (Watts Library)

By Suzanne LeVert

Book Overview

The U.S. government is made up of the executive, legislative, and judicial branches. The founders of the United States created these three separate parts to prevent any one group in government from becoming too powerful. Congress is the legislative, or law-making, branch of government. It consists of the Senate and the House of Representatives. This book follows Congress through its challenges and successes from its creation to today. Book jacket.
