I'd like to know more about how the US government is structured and how it works.

The United States of America has a federal system of government in which power is divided between the national government, state governments, and local governments. The national government is made up of three branches—executive, legislative, and judicial—and the president serves as the head of the executive branch. The legislative branch consists of two houses—the Senate and the House of Representatives—each with equal power. The judicial branch includes the Supreme Court, lower courts, and federal agencies.
