The text explains separation of powers and how executive, legislative, and judicial branches each handle distinct responsibilities, including lawmaking, enforcement, and constitutional review. Exercises include matching jobs to branches and completing a club constitution using a provided word bank (including judge, veto, executive power, government, and legislative).",{"@graph":69,"@context":122},[70,84,105],{"@type":71,"itemListElement":72},"BreadcrumbList",[73,77,79,82],{"item":74,"name":75,"@type":76,"position":8},"https://docshare.wps.com","Home","ListItem",{"item":78,"name":9,"@type":76,"position":14},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/",{"item":80,"name":20,"@type":76,"position":81},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/exam/",3,{"item":83,"name":65,"@type":76,"position":19},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/the-three-branches-of-the-treehouse-society-reading-comprehension-worksheet-level-r/544993/",{"url":83,"name":65,"@type":85,"image":86,"author":91,"headline":65,"publisher":94,"fileFormat":97,"inLanguage":63,"description":67,"dateModified":98,"datePublished":99,"encodingFormat":97,"isAccessibleForFree":100,"interactionStatistic":101},"DigitalDocument",{"url":87,"@type":88,"width":89,"height":90},"https://docshare.wps.com/thumbnails/the-three-branches-of-the-treehouse-society-reading-comprehension-worksheet-level-r/544993.png","ImageObject",300,407,{"name":92,"@type":93},"Eliana","Person",{"url":74,"name":95,"@type":96},"DocShare","Organization","application/pdf","2026-10-27","2026-10-12",true,{"@type":102,"interactionType":103,"userInteractionCount":81},"InteractionCounter",{"@type":104},"ViewAction",{"@type":106,"mainEntity":107},"FAQPage",[108,114,118],{"name":109,"@type":110,"acceptedAnswer":111},"What problem do Ernie, Leo, and Judy face when starting the Treehouse Society?","Question",{"text":112,"@type":113},"They cannot agree on club rules, and Ernie tries to control the rules by banning vegetables.

I think our first rule should be that no vegetables are allowed, ever.”  \n“What? I love vegetables! You cannot make rules just to please yourself,” Judy exclaimed.  \n“Vegetables are disgusting, and since I am the president of our club, I get to make the rules,” Ernie said.  \n“That’s not fair! Leo, what do you think?” Judy asked.  \nWith the two other members staring at him, Leo blushed. He  \ndid not like confrontation. “Maybe we could make a rule that only some vegetables are allowed?”  \n“That’s still not fair! How do we decide which vegetables should be banned? Broccoli? Zucchini? Asparagus? Where does it stop?” Judy asked. She felt her anger rising. Ernie was not happy either. They had just started the Treehouse Society and already they were having problems.  \nJust then their argument was interrupted by a knock at the treehouse door. The door swung open, revealing two gentlemen dressed in strange, old-fashioned clothes.  \n“I am John Locke,” the taller man said , bowing politely.“And this is Charles-Louis de Secondat.”  \n“Please, call me Charles,” the second man said, also bowing. “We hear you are having problems establishing your club.”  \nJudy nodded. “Yes, we can’t agree on the rules. I don’t think one person should be able to make all the rules and have all of the control, like some sort of king. We should all have a say.”  \n“When America was first getting started, John and I helped solve the exact problem you are now facing. The founding fathers wanted a country that would not be ruled by one person with all the power,” Charles said.  \n“I came up with the idea of a separation of powers,” John said. “I proposed that there be different branches of the  \ngovernment that would have separate responsibilities and powers. Mr. Locke smiled. “I did not want any one part of the government to have power over the other parts.”  \n“Cool,” Judy said. “But how does it work?”  \n“I used John’s idea of a separation of powers and suggested the three branches of government that the United States still uses today: the executive branch, the legislative branch, and the judicial branch,” Charles said.  \n“Do all three branches make the laws, and how do they decide on a law if they disagree?” Judy asked.  \n“Those are great questions,” Charles said, smiling. “It is the job of the legislative branch to make the laws. Congress is part of the legislative branch. They are responsible for writing bills or proposals for laws. They then vote on these bills in order to make them laws.  \nThe executive branch, which includes the President and Vice-President of the United States , can ve to a bill, but they cannot make a new law themselves. They are also in  \ncharge of making sure the approved laws are enforced.  \nThe judicial branch must judge the laws and make sure they  \nfollow the Constitution. Maybe you have heard of the Supreme Court? The Supreme Court and other lower courts are part of the judicial branch,” Charles explained.  \n“These three branches form what is  \ncalled a checks and balance system,” added  \nJohn. “One branch cannot have all of the power. If the legislative branch suggests a bill, and the President does not approve, the executive branch can veto or cancel the bill before it becomes law. Or, if there is a law that goes against the constitution, the judicial branch can rule against it. Each branch works together to keep our country balanced and running smoothly. Does that make sense?”  \nThe three members of the Treehouse Society nodded slowly.  \n“Well,” Charles said. “Our work here is done.
