The main purpose of our government is to serve the people, which gives it plenty of responsibilities to take on. To prevent a leader or groups of officials in government from abusing their power, our government is separated into three branches: legislative, executive, and judicial. Each branch has its own purpose and they cooperate to make sure that actions are reasonable and agreed upon.
