THE UNITED STATES GOVERNMENT

The form of the Government of the USA is based on the Constitution adopted in 1787, to which ten amendments were added in 1791. These amendments are called "The Bill of Rights". By the Constitution, the Government of the USA is composed of three branches: the executive, the legislative, and the judicial.

The President heads the executive branch of the government. He is to carry out the programs of the Government, to recommend to Congress much of the legislation and the amount of money that should be given to carry out government functions. The President is to appoint Federal Judges, ambassadors to other countries, and heads of various government departments, called secretaries.

Secretaries form the Cabinet, but their nominations are to be approved by the Senate and the House of Representatives.

In order to become a law, all bills and resolutions must pass both the Houses and be signed by the President.

Besides the official representatives of Big Business who form the Congress of the USA, an important role in the American legislation is played by the so-called lobbyists, paid advocates representing the interests of the rich. They are often much more influential than the Congressmen.
