Okay, it's a little sad that people don't know anything about our government, but so you are no longer one of them here is my answer. The Legislative is the branch the makes the laws. They write a bill, it goes to committee, after passing in the committee they vote on it. If it passes the president signs it or vetoes it. If he signs the bill it becomes law. The president is part of the executive branch. This part of government enforces the laws passed by congress. The president has a lot of national and local bureaucracy to help him do his task. The judicial branch hears court cases. The top level is the supreme court, and then there are other national and local courts.

The legislative branch of government means 'law making' (Senate is responsible for it). It make's the Country's Laws. Executive branch is connected strongly with the President who simply administers the Country. His job is to run a country's everyday affairs and to see that people obey the laws.The judicial branch explains and interprets the Laws ans the Constitution. The job of Supreme court is to make decisions in any disagreements about meaning of the laws ans the Constitution.

Are you looking for the actual term?
The US is a federal republic of individual states run by way of representative democracy, meaning:
Federal ~ Though there are many lower levels of government in the US, the primary level of gov't is the national, or federal level. (The Civil War was primarily fought b/c the Southern states wanted fewer federal controls and restrictions.)
Republic ~ A gov't in which the power comes from the people, not from God or another external source.
States ~ Each state (think of the 13 colonies) could be an independent political body. However, 200+ years ago we bound ourselves together "in order to form a more perfect union." So we are all together one government.
Representative ~ Voters don't directly make all the decisions that come out of gov't; most of them are made by folks that we elect to represent our interests.
Democracy ~ Many issues and positions are decided by way of majority vote.
Hopefully I got those pretty close, they're rather brief so you should definitely look into them more closely. I'm not going to delve into the differences between the branches, since a lot of other folks are doing that.

It is one particular way of splitting up the total power of government.
And the particular was used in presidential republics, like the US.
Under that model, the legislature makes proactive (forward-looking) or broad laws, called statutes. The judiciary resolves legal disputes, and records how legal questions were resolved (common law). And the executive branch makes everything else happen, including enforcing the laws and dealing with administrative and regulatory issues.

The Legislature is the lawmaking branch (Congress). The Executive enforces the laws (the President is head). The Judiciary carries out trials and other lawsuits (Supreme Court and lower courts).
