Federal and State Legislative Branches. The legislative branch is one of three divisions of government that works in conjunction with the executive and judicial branches. Its main responsibility is the creation of laws. The United States Constitution outlines the powers of the legislative branch, Congress, which is divided into two houses: the Senate and the House of Representatives. 49 states have a bicameral (two-house) legislature that is similar to the federal legislature.
Not only does each branch of the government have particular powers each branch has certain powers over the other branchs. This is done to keep them balanced and to prevent one branch form ever gaining too much power. For example: Legislative Branch. Makes the laws. Executive Branch. Enforces and carries out the laws.
