Based on the US constitution, which part of the government was intended to hold the least power?

Executive
Legislative
Judicial
Bureaucratic

The correct answer is: Legislative

The correct answer is B, Legislative. The US Constitution was designed with a system of checks and balances to prevent any one branch from having too much power. The Executive branch (A) has powers such as vetoing legislation and appointing judges, while the Judicial branch (C) has the power of judicial review. The bureaucratic branch (D) is not one of the three main branches of government and therefore does not have a designated power allocation. However, the Legislative branch (B) has the powers of making and passing laws, but also has limitations such as the President's veto power. Therefore, the Legislative branch was intended to hold the least amount of power in order to balance the power among the branches.
