Executive Branch
• The power of the executive branch is vested in the President. • As the chief executive officer of the nation, the President’s duty is to “preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States” and to faithfully execute laws passed by Congress. • The President is assisted by a Cabinet in the execution of his duty. The Cabinet includes the Vice President and the heads of executive departments.
Reasons for European Immigration
• Most European emigrants left their homelands to escape political oppression, to seek the freedom to practice their religion, or for adventure and opportunities. • Between 1620 and 1635, economic difficulties swept England. Colonial expansion became an outlet for this displaced population. • In the 1630s, arbitrary rule by England's Charles I gave impetus to the migration to the New World. • In contrast to the colonization policies of other countries and other periods, the emigration from England was not directly sponsored by the government but by private groups of individuals whose chief motive was profit.
