The Constitution
The Founding Fathers spent months and months together, arguing and debating. Finally, they created a plan, called the Constitution. It was decided that the central government should be broken into three parts, and that each of the parts would have equal power. These three parts are sometimes called branches, because, like the branches of a tree, they all work together. The three parts, or branches, would be called the executive, legislative and judicial.
