The Legislative branch are made up with 2 houses. They are the House of representative and the Senate. House of Representative are base on the states population. According to history, House of Representative are base on population. Since there are states that have slaves, the congress added the 3/5 law.(forgot the name) The 3/5 law means all 3/5 slaves are counted to the House of Representative. Later on, US limited the House of Representative to 435 seats.

And for the Senate, I don't know much about it. All i know is both House of Representative and the Senate have equal power.

The Legislative Branch also have the power to pass law. :D

The legislative branch creates laws. For example, Congress introduces legislation. The bill goes into committee. If it passes committee, the bill becomes voted on. If it passes, then it goes to the other house. If it doesn't pass, it goes back into committee, and usually dies. If both houses pass the bill, then it goes to the president to sign it.

Congress can, with a 2/3 majority vote, override a veto, forcing the bill into law. They can also impeach Executive and Judicial officials.

This is the same for all three levels of government: Local, State, and Federal.
