What are the three branches of government?

  1. the Executive, Legislative and Judicial

  2. the Federal, Provincial and Territorial

  3. the Senate, House, and Courts

  4. the Democrats, Republicans, and Independents

The correct answer is: the Executive, Legislative and Judicial

The Executive, Legislative, and Judicial are the three branches of government in the United States. Option B is incorrect because it mentions specific subdivisions of government in Canada, not in the United States. Option C is incorrect because it names specific bodies within the Legislative branch, not all three branches. Option D is incorrect because it mentions political parties, which are not considered branches of government. In summary, the three branches of government in the United States are the Executive, Legislative, and Judicial.
