The Big Three: Understanding Articles 1, 2, and 3 of the U.S. Constitution

Most of us know the U.S. government has three branches, but few can explain exactly where one’s power ends and the other’s begins.

In this episode, we cover:

• Article 1: Why the Legislative Branch (Congress) was intended to be the most important—and how it’s structured today.

• Article 2: The actual job description of the President (it’s more limited than you might think).

• Article 3: The Supreme Court’s unique role.
