Assess students' recall of the main functions and responsibilities of the three branches of the U.S. federal government—legislative (Congress: making laws, budgeting, oversight), executive (President and agencies: enforcing laws, directing policy, appointments, commander-in-chief), and judicial (Supreme Court and federal courts: interpreting laws, judicial review). Include basic examples of powers and checks (veto, override, confirmation, judicial review) and require identification of which branch performs each duty. Scope: grade 6–8, medium difficulty, focus on remembering definitions, roles, and representative examples.
