Discuss the relationship of the three branches of the federal government.  Present a hypothesis for which one of the three branches you believe is the most powerful at this time.  Provide references to support your position.  Please note that this is not a political discussion.  Leave politics out of your discussion.  
Answer the question with a short paragraph, between 150 and 250 words.  Brevity is a virtue.  That is why you are limited to 250 words.  If you can’t present your hypothesis in 250 words or less then it is too complicated.   Remember that when you state a fact if you don’t provide a reference, it is not a fact but rather an opinion.
