Judicial Branch

Constitutional Connection:
"The Judicial branch is one of the three co-equal branches of government. The Legislative Branch enacts laws, the Executive Branch enforces laws, and the Judicial Branch interprets and applies laws in specific cases"- www.aoc.state.nc.us/www/public/courts/meck/disk01/glossary.html

Explanation of Connection:

In the video, a new law was passed regarding cell phone use while driving. The judicial branch  applied this law  in this specific case because  the Branch felt it would reduce accidents. Text messages cannot be read nor sent while behind the wheel. Not to mention, calls cannot be answered nor can be made.

I feel that that this law was legit. If I were the President, I would also pass this law. Many lives have been taken because of car accidents and many of the deaths were due to people being on the telephone while driving. I feel that people should receive a fine/ticket if caught using a cell phone while driving. It is VERY dangerous and almost worst then drinking and driving.

Executive Branch

Constitutional connection:
The Executive Branch is in charge of the administrative aspect of the government. It supervises the operations of the different departments such as Finance, Social Welfare, Defense and others. It has direct control over the local governments units to ensure that the needs of the people are attended to by the public servants.

As stated, the Executive branch is in charge of the administrative aspect of government and supervises the operations of the different departments such as finance, social welfare,etc.. According to the article, President Obama (leader of Executive branch )  is using his executive power to advance energy, environmental, fiscal and other domestic policy priorities.

I couldn't imagine what society and our government would be like if  there was no executive branch  or supervisers that were in charge of all of the different departments. I believe  that without the  Executive branch, nothing would get accomplished and there would be no order whatsoever.

Explanation of Connection: This video demonstrates the Legislative branch. This video demonstrates how bills are submitted and wait to be passed. The legislative branch consits of The Senate and The House of Representatives which forms Congree. Bills are presented to Congress and congress votes on whether the Bill will pass, then the bill goes through many other votings and finally reaches the President. The President has the option of declining the bill which will be a Veto or the President may pass the bill making it a law.
