Is anyone available to help me?

Question

I need to create a metaphor to describe the structure of our federal government

The example they provided is "The American Government is a tripod; without each post, it would collapse."

I can't find anything that fits very well. Any ideas on what I can compare it to.

Answer 1

The American government is an equilateral triangle. All sides and angles are equal.

Answer 2

Thank you that make perfect sense

Answer 3

You're welcome. :-)

Answer 4

The American Government is a three legged tepee in a political wind storm.

Answer 5

Bobpursley has a better metaphor than mine! :-)
