It is believed that also the system can result in a statement among the three branches and it is believed that the maturity are forced to given to the minority interest. Personally thinking about her checks and balances works without a balance system we could see our president turning into a monarch because there's no one to stopping point out that it's unconstitutional to serve for life or create your own laws. We wouldn't want to have a branch of government who decides to dominate the field and create its own laws and decide about its own system of running these things. The checks and balances system though it does take a while to get things done in the government, the system is high quality when you consider its purpose in defence of the united states. The system has been working quite well in making sure the the three branches cannot overpower each other and do their own style of governance. A good example of balances are good for the country for instance if a legislative branch introduces a lot that they would like past to go will go to the executive branch president decides to not sign the bill he therefore vetoes the law but the legislative branch has another chance and within the foots the branch can override the executive branch is veto the bill becomes a law and once that laws in place the type of the country May use it in the court system. I see may be able to see and of the countries when the branch of government is a lot to take over then send you have a dictatorship if you will with that branch of government in the United States we make sure that no government can override each other and cause

    Checks and balances were created to keep one branch of government from having control over another branch of government. In Document C, it says, “… the constant aim is to divide and arrange the several offices in such a manner as that they may be a check on the other… (The three branches) should not be so far separated as to have no constitutional control over each other.” This means the branches of government all check each other to make sure one branch does not have more power than another. The branches can approve or disapprove with things the other branches have decided on. If one branch became over powered than it could take over the government resulting in tyranny.…

    The fundamental truth of separation of powers and checks and balances is that they prevent the government from gaining too much power which could potentially lead to a tyranny. Checks and balances help keep separation of powers by giving each branch specific powers that can check the other branch's actions. These checks and balances allow the branches to have limited power while maintaining the clear separation of powers into three branches and have ultimately created a limited/balanced form of government. Balance is described as an even distribution of weight enabling someone or something to remain upright and steady. The system of separation of powers distributes the government's power into three even branches while checks and balances allows these branches to stay even in power and prevent the branches from gaining too much power, overall enabling the government to stay upright and perform its duties to the people properly.…

    Checks and Balances were written in the Constitution so that one of the three branches of the government doesn't get too powerful than the other two. An is example if the Legislative branch wants to make a law that is not fair for the people of the US or a law that gives the Legislative branch more power than the Judicial branch the president of the US can reject the law so that the law is not ratified. But the Legislative branch can prevent the president from rejecting the law because the Legislative branch can ratify that law if they get enough votes to pass the law. The judicial branch can say that a law is unconstitutional if they see that those laws aren't fair. If the president is not fair and doesn't show that he is doing a good job…
