  decisions are challenged by the judicial branch
  in a process called judicial review.

• Branches of Government. The three branches of
  our government each play crucial roles in the
  U.S. national government. Each branch has
  specific power, duties, and responsibilities that
  are the most apparent features of our system of
  separate powers. Nevertheless, each branch has
  been critiqued for having definite strengths and
  weaknesses that become obvious in certain
  situations. Analyzing these strengths and
  weaknesses will enable you to evaluate and
