The Constitution provides that the president may require the opinions of the heads of the various executive departments. Early on Washington persuaded congress to create the Departments of Foreign Affairs, War, and Treasury, and the heads of these became the first cabinet. Over time more and more executive departments have been created and the opinions of the heads of the departments have become more important in the running of the government.

The US is a federation, so there are 3 branches of gov't for each state and 3 levels for the federal (united) gov't in Washington DC.  The judicial branch is the Courts.  There are 3 levels of courts in every state and 3 levels for the federal courts.  The trial court, the appeals court, and the court of last resort.  Next, is the legislative branch.  Every state and the federal gov't all have 2 chambers, the house and the senate.  Next is the executive.  They do the administration and at the state levels they are called the "Governor," and his appointees, and at the federal level it is called the "President," and his appointees.  Good luck, Shay!

You are asking questions about things that are not paid for out of the same budgets.\n\nThe United States federal goverments first, and basically only job when this country was created was defense.  \n\nUntil recent times - Defense was the largest percentage of the total federal budget by far.\n\nAs time has gone on other things have been added to it. Including what takes up the majority of the Federal Budget these days.  These things that have been added are "required spending" budget items.  These are things that no matter what - they have to be paid.  This includes Social Security, Medicare, Medicade, interest, payroll, and other such expenses that deal with the day to day operation of the Federal government.\n\nDefense comes out of what is called discretionary spending.  As would anything the Feds spend on Education.\n\nTo answer your question directly - defense is about 20 percent, and Medicare/Medicaid (health) combined are going to also be about 20 percent.  Education is going to come out of the rest of the discretionary budget - not sure what it is off the top of my head - but its a very small percentage.\n\nSource 2 below has the info from the above paragraph - source 1 is the page that pdf came from, which has alot of other charts and graphs put out the US House of Representatives.\n\nSource 3 covers some historical data on the Defense spending.\n\nDefense is only paid for by the Feds.\n\nEducation on the other hand is going to be paid for by each state.  So to answer that question - you would have to look at each state.  There is many other Health Care programs that are paid for at the state level also - again - not something that can be answered here - way to many different things.\n\nBasically - the Feds pay for Social Security, Defense, Medicare, Medicaid, and things that cross states borders like Interstates.  They also spend large chunks of change on things like Disaster Relief.  \n\nStates pay for Education.\n\n.. and for the most part - employers pay for Health Care in this country.

Executive, Judicial and Legislative. The three are equal in importance, although George W. Bush seems to think otherwise. Here's details of the three with sources cited below:\n\nExecutive Branch\n\nThe branch of the U.S. government that is composed of the president and all the individuals, agencies, and departments that report to the president, and that is responsible for administering and enforcing the laws that Congress passes.\n\nThe U.S. government is composed of three branches: legislative, judicial, and executive. The legislative branch consists of the U.S. Congress, which is responsible for creating laws. The judicial branch is composed of the federal courts, which are responsible for ruling on the validity of the laws that Congress passes and applying them in individual cases. The executive branch differs from both in scope and function.\n\n\nJudicial Branch\n\nThe court systems of local, state, and federal governments, responsible for interpreting the laws passed by the legislative branch and enforced by the executive branch. These courts try criminal cases (in which a law may have been violated) or civil cases (disputes between parties over rights or responsibilities). The courts attempt to resolve conflicts impartially in order to protect the individual rights guaranteed by the Constitution, within the bounds of justice, as defined by the entire body of U.S. law. Some courts try only original cases, whereas others act as courts of appeals. The ultimate court of appeals is the Supreme Court. On the federal level, the system of checks and balances empowers Congress to create federal courts, and all federal judges must be appointed by the president and confirmed by the Senate. The courts may exercise the powers of judicial review and injunction. \n\n\nLegislative Branch\n\nThe branch of the federal and state government empowered to make the laws that are then enforced by the executive branch and interpreted by the judicial branch. The legislative branch consists of Congress and the fifty state legislatures. At both state and federal levels, legislatures are made up of popularly elected representatives, who propose laws that are sensitive to the needs and interests of their local constituents. After a law is proposed as a bill, it is sent to appropriate committees for several stages of discussion, research, and modification. It is then debated in both legislative houses — except in Nebraska, which has a single-house legislature — and put to a vote. If the law is passed, it is still subject to further modification and final vote by both houses. Under the system of checks and balances, the president can refuse to sign the bill into law (through the veto power). The legislature can then vote to override the veto. Other checks and balances include legislative powers to impeach public officials (see impeachment), confirm appointments to the executive and judicial branches, and vote on appropriations.

George Washington did not create the cabinet, but he did urge Congress to recognize the deparments of foreign affairs, treasury and war. Once Congress approved of the President's request, Washington appointed the first members to serve in that executive branch capacity.\n\nThey included:\n\nThomas Jefferson (Sec'y of Foreign Affairs, though the name was quickly changed to Secretary of State)\n\nAlexander Hamilton (Secretary of the Treasury)\n\nHenry Knox (Secretary of War)\n\nEdmund Randolph (Attorney General)\n\nIn the original cabinet, the Attorney General was not the head of the Department of Justice

Not described within the US Constitution... they are theoretically whatever the President of the United States would chose them to be... However, Congress has codified their names and duties in US Code, TITLE 5 > PART I > CHAPTER 1 > § 101:\n\nThe Executive departments are: \nThe Department of State. \nThe Department of the Treasury. \nThe Department of Defense. \nThe Department of Justice. \nThe Department of the Interior. \nThe Department of Agriculture. \nThe Department of Commerce. \nThe Department of Labor. \nThe Department of Housing and Urban Development. \nThe Department of Transportation. \nThe Department of Energy. \nThe Department of Education. \nThe Department of Veterans Affairs.\n\nSo the President MAY chose to rely on others... but the Departments are self sustaining... or feeding bueracracies..

The Senate and the House of Representatives are the two branches of our congress.  They propose and enact laws for the U S.

Yes indeed. "Legislative" means the ones who actually pass the laws ("legis" -- from the Latin for law), while "Executive" means the ones who execute (enforce) them, and "judicial" means the ones who judge them.  So Congress (the House of Representatives) and the Senate are both part of the legislative branch.
