(Legislative Branch) Congress creates laws.

"Congress may at any time by law make or alter such regulations, except as to the places of choosing Senators. The Congress shall assemble at least once in every year, and such meeting shall be on the first Monday in December, unless they shall by law appoint a different day." Congress works with the executive branch to lower the power for the judicial branch. Can remove number of judges and federal courts. Jeannette Rankin becomes first U.S. congresswoman. Hiram Revels is the first black member in Congress. The Legislative Branch out how bills become laws, how Congress can check and balance the President, and how it represents the people. "Legislative branch is oversight of the executive branch. Essential to the doctrine of checks and balances envisioned by the nation’s Founders and implemented by the Constitution." This branch carries out duties with Congress like the budget office, the copyright office and Library of Congress.

(Judicial Branch) Refers to the branch of the U.S. government responsible for interpreting and applying existing laws to the cases that come before it. The Supreme Court is the final court of appeal in the U.S. judicial system and the final interpreter of the Constitution. The official decision of the Court is often supplemented by concurring opinions from justices who support the majority decision and dissenting opinions from justices who oppose it. Members of the Supreme Court are appointed for life terms, though they may be expelled if they are impeached by the House of Representatives and convicted in the Senate. "Though it can sometimes serve as a trial court through its original jurisdiction, relatively few cases reach the Court in this manner. Instead, the vast majority of the Court’s business and nearly all of its most influential decisions derive from its appellate jurisdiction." Judicial Branch - Student Center | Britannica.com

The Judicial Branch: Government, which interprets and applies the laws and the Constitution to civil and criminal cases. In 1803, the power of the judicial branch was more clearly defined with the landmark supreme court case Marbury v. Madison. "it was the first time the Supreme Court declared an act of Congress unconstitutional." Marbury v. Madison, 1803 (Judicial Review) (thoughtco.com)

The 13th Amendment

The 13th amendment is the most important to me, because it is only reason, I'm able to do what I do now. My people, my family before me. Were able to live freely to do what we enjoy in life thanks to the abolition of slavery. The promise that slavery, or “involuntary servitude,” would exist no longer within the United States. The exception here is on the conviction of a crime. "This amendment was ratified on December 6, 1865". https://constitutionus.com/constitution/amendments/constitutional-amendments/

The 19th Amendment

The 19th Amendment is about the right for any citizen of the United States to vote, regardless of their biological sex. Essentially, this was the moment women joined male citizens and were granted the right to vote in the United States. This amendment was ratified on August 18, 1920. This is important to me, because it allowed more of peoples/females live to be free and not oppressed their entire life.
