in government to keep all
Americans safe. They
say that the government
can build an army and a
navy to guard the country.
2. ARTICLES
12 The seven articles of the Constitution explain
the branches of the U.S. government. They tell
what those branches can and cannot do. In the
United States, the people run the government.
Americans have the right to vote. When they
vote, Americans choose the people who will
work for them in the government.
13 The articles divide the U.S. government into
three branches. Each branch has different
powers. No one branch can become
stronger than the others. This is
called a “balance of power.” Every
branch is equal.
