The '''United States Federal Government''' is a name used for the chief governing body of the [[United States]] of America. It is responsible for the whole of the [[United States]], and its power is not limited geographically in the manner which the State governments are. The Federal Government is the common government of the States, and governs those who reside within the [[Fifty States]].
The Federal Government, was then and is now, divided into three sections: The Executive Branch, the Judiciary Branch, and the Legislative Branch. Their respective powers were and are listed in the [[United States Constitution]]. Thus the powers of the Federal Government, are the same as those listed belonging to the respective branches.
