How Canadians Govern Themselves › Government Structure
What are the three branches of Canadian federal government?
- The Prime Minister, Cabinet and Parliament
- The Governor General, Premier and Mayor
- The Crown, the Senate, and the House of Commons
- The Executive, Legislative and Judicial branches
Why this is the correct answer
Canadian federal government is divided into three branches: the Executive (which carries out laws), the Legislative (which makes laws), and the Judicial (which interprets laws). Separating these powers prevents any one branch from becoming too dominant.
