The Constitution, the second draft for the American government, was written. It featured a more powerful federal government, composed of three branches: a legislative branch (to pass laws), an executive branch (to enforce the law), and a judicial branch (to interpret the law). The legislative branch consists of Congress, composed of the House of Representatives, led by the Speaker of the House, and the Senate, led by the vice president. The executive branch is led by the president, followed by the vice president and presidential cabinet. The judicial branch is headed by the Supreme Court, followed by the Courts of Appeals, then the district courts. It featured many compromises, like the Connecticut Compromise (which organized a bicameral legislature) and the Three-Fifths Compromise (which counted slaves as 3/5 of a person when accounting for representation in the House of Representatives).
